Dan Oates, author (https://fortpearsallpress.com) and skilled chair caner, sets up on the inn porch. The North River Mills United Methodist Church folks provide refreshments.
The adjacent quiet dirt lane is a nice place for a hike.
C.C. Hall has an excellent site with info about the village: www.NorthRiverMills.org
North River Mills was designated a “Historical Landmark”. If you have old photos ( people or structures of the village), we would love to scan them. Often old timers come to swap stories of North River Mills, giving the day a homecoming feel.
Ted Kalvitis, the antique tractor guru, and his better half, Stephanie sometimes host the Narrow Gallery (corn crib) Art Show. (Contact us if you’re interested in exhibiting.)
Ice Mountain/ North River Mills docents may lead hikes to the cold vents and the overlook (probably early.)Frontier Campfire Cooking & Old Time Jam at Fort Edwards
Imagine you are sitting around a campfire with the Edwards and George Washington. Come and imagine with others. What might they have eaten? What music channel did George and others listen to on Spotify or Youtube? Come imagine with us.
