A Mansion on Sagandoga Lake June 2011





Our New York host, Rick, is friends with a lady who takes care of this wonderful mansion on Sagandoga Lake. We went up with him for the day and got to explore this wonderful old place. It is still owned by the original family and they still come up occasionally. Built in the mid 1800s it is full of original treasures dating back to those days. Rick grilled up a wonderful dinner while we were there and we got to eat in the elegant dining room. Felt like we were in a museum.
