Old things Change

I never imagined this place to change much. This is my forth time here and every time I've been here nothing seemed to be in the works of changing besides some cabin restorations. But wow, wireless internet and the church being renovated really shocked me!

When I was here as a freshman in the fall of '07 with my freshman orientation class, we had our orientation in this same Carlson classroom and there weren't any computers here or nothing just a VCR and tv. The church was boarded up and the everything still looked like it was covered in a film of dust. But now, for some reason everything looks like it has had a recent dust off and so much more familiar. Maybe it's because I've been so familiar with the sights hear and the feeling of being separated from the outside world without internet connection. So seeing the inside of the church and be able to connect to the internet has sort of amazed me, I guess. They're both truly a wonderful things because I never imagined I'd ever get the chance to see the inside of that church and now apparently I can married inside, according to Tim!

So with this in my mind, it makes me wonder about all the other historical landmarks or lost stories in the Adirondack park that haven't been renovated or discovered due to financial reasons, time or because people simply forgot about them. So while I am here at Huntington and at the museums, I'd like to try to find out if there are any current projects or works going around here where I can help. I want to be a part of the findings and be able to have people to understand the history of the park as best as we can unmask it. I find the history of it all fascinating so I'd like its legacy to be continued on.
