Come spend a Sunday afternoon exploring some of Schroon Lake’s most interesting properties. The annual Friends of the Schroon Lake Library House and Garden Tour will take place on Sunday, July 29, 2012 from 12 noon – 4 pm, rain or shine.
All proceeds will benefit the Schroon Lake Public Library. The tour offers visitors the opportunity to visit beautiful and unusual gardens, homes with soaring beams and windows, inviting wrap-around porches, beautiful lake views and unique renovations. This year’s tour will have something for everyone.
We are very excited to again offer tour participants free admission to a presentation by Kerry Mendez owner of Perennially Yours at the Boathouse Theater following the tour from 4pm – 5pm.
