| 2:30p | Scenic route to Queensbury Hotel along Lake Champlain and Lake George The Queensbury Hotel was built in the 1920s as an expression of civic pride by a group of the city's top business leaders. In an unprecedented show of business and civic teamwork that likely couldn't be duplicated today, 100 businessmen met in 1924 and voted to raise money to get the hotel project off the ground. Ground was broken on June 9, 1924 and progressed steadily until the hotel was finally ready to open its doors in May 1926. Since then, The Queensbury has mirrored the changing life and times of Glens Falls itself. |

The line was built from Saratoga Springs to North Creek just after the Civil War. They started building out of Saratoga in 1865 and reached North Creek in 1871. In 1889, the railroad became the Adirondack Branch of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. The railroad terminus was at North Creek until the beginning of World War II, when it was extended 30 miles north to the open pit mine at Tahawus, to support the war effort. The railroad fell silent for ten years. In 1999, the Upper Hudson River Railroad was contracted to operate an excursion train on 8.5 miles from North Creek to Riverside Station in Riparius NY. |
