IMAGES OF AMERICA: HADLEY AND LAKE LUZERNE by Arcadia Publishing

Hadley and Like Luzerne are located where the narrowest part of the Hudson River meets the Sacandaga River. Separated by Rockwell Falls, these “sister towns” as they have been called, are in many respects a single bonded community. The two were joined even before they were officially founded in the late 1700’s. They developed together, share a common culture, similar society and mutual commerce. Their history is richly illustrated and narrated in Hadley and Lake Luzerne. Inside are rare photos of loggers on drives down the Hudson river, world famous visitors at the Wayside Inn, early horse racing and the big boulder that became part of a building known as the Beehive. In this cooperative effort, members and friends of the Hadley-Lake Luzerne Historical Society co-authored this special publication in conjunction with Arcadia Publishing.
