The Sagamore

The Sagamore is a Victorian-era resort hotel located on Lake George in Bolton Landing, New York. It occupies the private Green Island on Lake George. Since 1983 it has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The Sagamore is a member of Historic Hotel of America the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

History

The Sagamore opened in 1883, financed by a number of prominent summer residents. It soon succeeded in attracting a wealthy clientele.

The hotel was named after "the Sagamore," a American Indian character in James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 novel The Last of the Mohicans. Several of Lake George's nearby islands have been named after characters from the book.

Twice damaged by fire, in 1893 and 1914, the Sagamore was rebuilt in the early 1920s by local prominent architect Robert Rheinlander. It was then fully reconstructed in 1930 through the efforts of Dr. William G. Beckers of New York City, one of the hotel's early stockholders, and William H. Bixby, a St. Louis industrialist. Together they financed the cost in spite of the bleak economic climate of the period.
