Today, many remnants of buildings, blast furnaces and stone structures can still be seen. Later, the location was used for a private hunting and fishing camp. In about 1860, the mine was closed and the area became abandoned. At its peak (1840s), several hundred lived in the town, which featured 16 homes, a school, a general store and the first bank situated in the Adirondacks, which was opened here to cash company checks. The Tahawus Tract was a wide area where mining was done.
What began as a company town called Adirondac (owned by the Adirondack Iron Works Company) slowly went from bust to boom to bust. Although they are gone, there is one real ghost town still located in the heart of the Adirondacks.
Back in the day, when it was known as "Vacationland," the region hosted several fun parks which carried names like Storytown, U.S.A., and Frontier Town. The Adirondacks once was home to many theme parks.
