Camp Topridge, Historic great camp in Keese Mill, New York

The main lodge features a 4000 square foot great room with standing-height fireplaces and 25-foot high ceilings supported by massive pine beams.

Marjorie Merriweather Post, the General Foods founder, purchased the property in 1920 and transformed it into a 68-building estate with private guest cabins.

The estate incorporates a Russian dacha structure, reflecting architectural influences from Post's connections during her husband's ambassadorship to the Soviet Union.

The compound includes multiple boathouses on Upper St. Regis Lake, with guests historically arriving by floatplane or boat before taking a funicular to the main building.

A covered electronic lift system was installed specifically to accommodate Post's aunt Molly, who experienced heart-related mobility limitations.
