Historic Hemmer Cottage

Rustic Adirondack Cottage built in 1930 as part of a former cottage colony, then relocated and restored by volunteers and the Town of Webb Historical Association, featuring historic and cultural exhibits.

Keeping House

A house moving down the street is not an every day event. When it happened in May of 2002 in Old Forge, traffic was halted. Electricity was shut off. Children gawked and old timers scratched their heads trying to remember the last time. History on wheels rolled down Park Avenue, slowly making its way to a new site near Old Forge Pond. Hemmer Cottage, bound for demolition, is also a catalyst for an important rediscovery of the Town of Webb’s heritage, and perhaps a primer for historic preservation in other small Adirondack village.
