Founded at the turn of the 19th century along the Schroon River where a 70-foot-drop in 3 miles offered opportunity for three dams. Tanneries, sawmills, grist mills, a woolen mill and, later, shirt and pants manufacture, provided hundreds of jobs. At the turn of the 20th century the town boasted of municipal water and sewer systems, and even electric streetlights. It was among the first towns in the area to offer a free high school education to all residents when the Warrensburgh Academy was converted, by popular vote in 1888, to the Union Free School. A trolley line provided cheap access to towns and cities to the south, and the populace and industry was soon serviced by a major railroad line, the Delaware & Hudson. You can learn all about it the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History, with its two 72-foot long murals. Among its native sons was Floyd Bennett, the pilot who flew Commander Byrd to the North Pole, who was awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award. U. S. Congressman Louis Emerson was born and bred in Warrensburg, as was his brother, NY State Senator James Emerson, a long-term and influential legislator who helped create the New York State highway system in the early part of the 20th century. Warrensburg has always been hospitable to travelers and visitors from its earliest days when numerous hotels lined its streets. Vacationers seeking a respite from hot cities found Warrensburg quiet bucolic ways and mountain scenery a tonic from hectic lives. Warrensburg continues that tradition, with several bed-and-breakfasts, from elegant Victorian to charming farmhouses and lodges, dude ranches and several motels and campgrounds. Fine gourmet dining in historic buildings, and hometown cooking in traditional diner settings draw visitors from far and wide. Warrensburg is easily accessed via Interstate I-87 (Adirondack Northway Exit 23) or by public transit: Adirondack Trailways buses stop several times daily in W a r - r e n s - burg and Amtrak has train service to Fort Edward, where private arrangements can be made to Warrensburg. Local taxi service is available. Reach our advertisers at: Contact us now to discuss your 2017 Wedding Date!
