Lumberjack's Monument

“You pull up to Lumberjack's Monument and marvel at the sheer size of the wood-cutting figure. As you stand there, the quiet hum of the nearby river melds with the stories of resilience and hardship from a bygone era. This is a gem waiting to be discovered.”
Standing 15 feet tall, this monument honors the loggers who shaped the Adirondacks during the 1800s and even played a role in the Civil War. It feels like a hidden tribute in an often-forgotten area, and the nearby river provides a peaceful backdrop to reflect on their hard lives.
