Relive Schroon's Wild West

Take a ride back in time to Frontier Land via the above video, and you’ll get to experience what this once great amusement park was like, circa the early 1990s.

From the shoot out on Main Street, to the rodeo, to one bizarre moment featuring a chariot race, the home video of one family’s trip captures what it was like at this long shuttered Western Theme Park.

Frontier Town is a featured display this summer at the Schroon North Hudson Historical Society.

Double The Fun...

You will be seeing – and hearing double – when Chris and Meredith Thompson take center stage at the Boat House Saturday for what promises to be a an extraordinary show.

The  identical twins  -- Chris on percussive and riff driven guitar, and Meredith on congas and flute -- combine music and stories in their performances to create a bond with audiences. Although this peformance is billed as a kids show, we are sure adults will hav a ton of fun as well.

The sisters who grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, have toured extensively throughout the US and Latin America and have recorded six albums. Check out the video above for a sneak peak.

The Boat House. Saturday 11am . Presented by the Schroon Lake Arts Council.
