Great performances and art exhibits! ” – Scott W. @tannerypondcommunitycenter @tannery_pond @tannery_pond Photo credit: Dave Warner, Lake George Music Festival johnsburg The Historic Town of Jonsburg is a four-season <strong>Adirondack</strong> destination located along the Hudson River and surrounding NY’s premier ski destination—Gore Mountain. You can trace the Town of Johnsburg’s history back to hearty settlers who made a living logging, mining and running tanneries. Today, the Town of Johnsburg is a lively oasis and perfect jumping off spot to explore the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s. Year round, visitors will enjoy exploring the seven Hamlets that make up the town—Wevertown, Riparius, Sodom, Garnet Lake, Bakers Mills, North River and North Creek. North Creek is the most visible Town of Johnsburg hamlet due to its Main Street with quaint shops and restaurants The Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek offers theater, concerts and gallery displays. In winter, thousands of skiers trek to Gore Mountain which offers the largest vertical drop in the eastern US. The spring thaw releases Maple sap and the chance to see area Sugar Houses producing real Maple syrup. The spring also brings migrating birds back to the forests and birdwatchers flock to the area. Adventure seekers also flock to the area for the white water rafting and kayaking on the Hudson River. Summer brings warm days and cool nights to the region and campers, hikers, boaters and other vacationers who find the Town of Johnsburg is the perfect <strong>Adirondack</strong> location. Changing leaf colors transforms the Town of Johnsburg into a fall foliage destination. Visitors can take the Gore Mountain gondola and view the fall splendor throughout the <strong>Adirondack</strong>s. For more information about the Town of Johnsburg, visit www.gorechamber.com or call 518-251-2612. “Arts Support Community at Tannery Pond” Tannery Pond Community Center was built in 2002 to provide residents and visitors with cultural, educational, recreational, and social opportunities. The building was paid for by the generosity of Woody and Elise Widlund, who gifted it to the Town of Johnsburg. It features a state-of-the-art 160 seat auditorium with excellent acoustics, an art exhibit space, and several meeting rooms. Tannery Pond Center, a nonprofit organization, manages use of the venues in the center for the Town of Johnsburg, operates the Widlund Gallery with monthly exhibits, and presents many cultural, live performance and educational events for all ages. It is a wonderful place to meet, strut your stuff (artistic talents, that is), view incredible exhibits, and attend performances by Grammy-nominees and outstanding regional talent.
