The Historic Town of Jonsburg is a four-season <strong>Adirondack</strong> destination<br />
located along the Hudson River and surrounding NY’s premier ski<br />
destination—Gore Mountain. You can trace the Town of Johnsburg’s<br />
history back to hearty settlers who made a living logging, mining and<br />
running tanneries. Today, the Town of Johnsburg is a lively oasis and<br />
perfect jumping off spot to explore the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s.<br />
Year round, visitors will enjoy exploring the seven Hamlets that make<br />
up the town—Wevertown, Riparius, Sodom, Garnet Lake, Bakers Mills,<br />
North River and North Creek. North Creek is the most visible Town of<br />
Johnsburg hamlet due to its Main Street with quaint shops and restaurants<br />
The Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek offers theater, concerts<br />
and gallery displays.<br />
In winter, thousands of skiers trek to Gore Mountain which offers the<br />
largest vertical drop in the eastern US. The spring thaw releases Maple<br />
sap and the chance to see area Sugar Houses producing real Maple syrup.<br />
The spring also brings migrating birds back to the forests and birdwatchers<br />
flock to the area. Adventure seekers also flock to the area for the<br />
white water rafting and kayaking on the Hudson River.<br />
Summer brings warm days and cool nights to the region and campers,<br />
hikers, boaters and other vacationers who find the Town of Johnsburg<br />
is the perfect <strong>Adirondack</strong> location. Changing leaf colors transforms the<br />
Town of Johnsburg into a fall foliage destination. Visitors can take the<br />
Gore Mountain gondola and view the fall splendor throughout the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s.<br />

“Arts Support Community at Tannery Pond”<br />
Tannery Pond Community Center was built in 2002 to provide<br />
residents and visitors with cultural, educational, recreational, and social<br />
opportunities. The building was paid for by the generosity of<br />
Woody and Elise Widlund, who gifted it to the Town of Johnsburg. It<br />
features a state-of-the-art 160 seat auditorium with excellent acoustics,<br />
an art exhibit space, and several meeting rooms.<br />
Tannery Pond Center, a nonprofit organization, manages use of<br />
the venues in the center for the Town of Johnsburg, operates the Widlund<br />
Gallery with monthly exhibits, and presents many cultural, live<br />
performance and educational events for all ages. It is a wonderful<br />
place to meet, strut your stuff (artistic talents, that is), view incredible<br />
exhibits, and attend performances by Grammy-nominees and<br />
outstanding regional talent.<br />
