Where in the ADK? Lake George Land Conservancy in Bolton Landing
Marble sculpture by Caroline Ramersdorfer
This week’s “Where in the ADK?” comes from Bolton Landing, NY. And it features two things we admire greatly: a beautiful marble sculpture by renowned artist and Adirondack resident Caroline Ramersdorfer and the Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) offices and headquarters. This stunning work of art sits in front of LGLC’s offices on Lake Shore Drive in Bolton.
Caroline Ramersdorfer, world-class artist; ADK resident.
Ms. Ramersdorfer is based in Wells, NY. Her studio and home are at The Adirondack Sacandaga River Sculpture Park, along with internationally recognized sculptor John Van Alstine. The 8-acre parcel is nestled along the banks of the historic Sacandaga River in the south-central section of the Adirondacks. The grounds, once part of a 19th-century wood products mill, are wonderfully landscaped, showcasing an ongoing, changing exhibition of both sculptors, whose works are held in many national and international collections, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, City of Beijing, and the City of Zhengzhou, China.
The Sculpture Park is open to visitors by appointment only. Call or text 518.774.6641.
However, if you want 24-7 access to the park, you can book Studio C, a 1,000-square-foot loft-like space attached to one of the property’s original buildings. The design is entirely open-plan, with a king-size bed on a raised platform at one end of the space. The setting is beautiful, making it an extraordinary getaway in the ADK.
LGLC: protecting the pristine waters of Lake George.
Established in 1988, the LGLC protects the land within the Lake George watershed to preserve the world-famous water quality of this amazing lake. As a non-profit land trust, LGLC’s work depends on the generosity and passion of people who love Lake George and want it to remain as clean and beautiful as it is today for their children and future generations.
The LGLC protects the water quality of Lake George through active land management to sustain the existing diversity of species and natural processes that shape a landscape or to restore them where they have been removed.
