Great Camp Sagamore, Historic wilderness retreat in Adirondack Mountains, New York.
Great Camp Sagamore spans 27 buildings across two complexes, featuring native materials such as logs, stones, and decorative branches throughout its structures.
William West Durant built this wilderness estate between 1895 and 1897, later selling it to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt who expanded the property with modern amenities.
The camp exemplifies the architectural style that influenced National Park buildings across the United States during the late nineteenth century.
Visitors can explore both the guest and worker areas of the camp through guided tours from May to October, including detailed presentations about its history.
The property contains separate areas for workers and guests, connected by a half-mile path, maintaining social distinctions of the Gilded Age period.
