Great Camp Sagamore is a National Historic Landmark located in the Adirondack region, serving as a wilderness retreat that preserves a historic Adirondack rustic architectural model. Founded around 1897 and originally built by William West Durant, the site later came under the ownership of Alfred Vanderbilt I’s family and is now operated as a non-profit educational institution where visitors can stay, tour the complex, and engage in history, art, and nature programs. The venture focuses on preserving the historic camp while offering educational experiences that explore Adirondack history and culture in a tranquil, remote setting. Based in Raquette Lake, New York, the organization functions as a small to mid-sized non-profit within the historical sites sector, attracting visitors and participants interested in architecture, history, and nature. A recent development involves continuing its role as a place for learning and immersion in the Adirondacks, maintaining its heritage while providing opportunities for experience-based education.
