Knollwood Club

Knollwood Club, an Adirondack Great Camp located on Shingle Bay at Lower Saranac Lake, was constructed between 1899 and 1900 by William L. Coulter for a group of six prominent friends, including influential figures like Daniel Guggenheim and Louis Marshall. The camp features unique architecture with six shingle cottages and a boathouse, reflecting the era's design aesthetics. It served as a refuge for wealthy Jewish individuals during a time of rising anti-Semitism in America. Notably, the camp was frequented by Albert Einstein, who was present during the historic moment when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The site remains a testament to the rich cultural and historical tapestry of the region, making it an intriguing destination for tourists and researchers alike.
