Corinth – Still Celebrating 200 Years<br />

Corinth is a quaint<br />

little town in Saratoga<br />

County, Upstate New York.<br />

The Hudson River winds<br />

peacefully through Corinth,<br />

making it a favorite vacation<br />

spot for tourists of all seasons<br />

looking for a place that has<br />

swimming, boating, fishing,<br />

waterskiing, beautiful<br />

fall foliage, snow skiing,<br />

snowshoeing, and much more<br />

all centrally located. In the<br />

extreme southwestern corner<br />

of Corinth is the famous<br />

Mount McGregor, where<br />

Gen. Ulysses S. Grant died.<br />

Come enjoy the serenity of<br />

Corinth, and still be only<br />

15 minutes from all the<br />

fast paced attractions and<br />

entertainment offered in<br />

neighboring communities<br />

of Saratoga, Glens Falls, and<br />

Lake George.<br />

I.P. Museum. This building was the first headquarters<br />

of International Paper Company, Corinth, NY. It later<br />

became the offices for the Mill Managers of Hudson<br />

River Mill. The downstairs became the time office for<br />

the then 1500 employees to punch their timeclocks<br />

in and out for their respective shifts and pick up their<br />

paychecks.<br />

When International Paper Company closed its<br />

doors in 2002, the town of Corinth asked to have<br />

the building donated to the Town to serve as a papermaking<br />

museum. After several years this did happen,<br />

and the Town has begun the slow process of making<br />

the museum a reality on the National Historic Roll.<br />

Summer programs have been scheduled there.<br />
