Premier Adirondack Auction

Blanchards Auction Service

We are pleased to announce that we will be selling many of the original furnishing from Great Camp Kwenogamac built on the shores of Long Lake in 1903 and owned by a prominent New York surgeon, Dr. Arpad Gerster. Great Camp Kwenogamac consists of 12,650 square feet of living space. We have hand selected several hundred premier lots that will be moved to Saranac Lake for our Annual August in the Adirondacks Auction. We will also be selling a fine selection of rustic furniture and decorative accessories from an Adirondack lodge in Keene Valley, NY.
