A Walking Tour of North Creek

North Creek was the last stop on Thomas Durant's Adirondack Railroad. That made it the gateway to the great camps of the Adirondacks and an important center for freight and commerce. On this 1.5-mile walking tour, we’ll tell you place-by-place this community’s remarkable story.

First, we’ll follow North Creek to its intersection with the Hudson River.

Then we’ll turn toward the North Creek Depot Museum and other historic buildings that served the railroad.

Finally, we’ll turn again on Main Street and return, exploring the shops and businesses that the arrival of the railroad in 1871 helped to generate.

If the Tannery Pond Community Center is open, we'll start with its O'Keeffe Opera House Curtain that hangs in its lobby.
