They drowned these towns for a rich man's fishing trip #Adirondacks #GhostTowns

Three hamlets in the central Adirondacks — Conifer, Brandreth, and Sabattis — sat along the same river system loggers once used to float timber out of the woods. When the Adirondack League Club built its private lake system for members-only fishing in the 1890s, the water rose and these communities were swallowed up. Today they exist mostly in old photographs like this one. What's a place near you that disappeared under water? #ForgottenTowns #Adirondacks #GhostTowns #NewYorkHistory #AbandonedPlaces
