FHHL Kids Program


Pember Museum Educator Bernadette (Bernie) Hoffman spoke at the Friends of Historic Huletts Landing children’s program on Thursday.

Once again (her fifth year) Pember Museum Educator Bernadette (Bernie) Hoffman provided an interesting program that was about animals and animal tracks. Her talk included examples and descriptions, recordings of lions and other wild animals. She answered questions throughout and held the attention of all children (and adults) in attendance.

The next children’s program will be on Tuesday, August 5 and features June Leary of the Hyde Museum with an art project.

Timber……

The Huletts Landing Property Owners Civic Association did some tree removal and pruning last week on their private property.

As I was taking this picture, Francis Borden told me that his father had planted the tree pictured above in 1900 for Henry Buckell, the owner of the first Hulett hotel at that time.

So not only would the tree have been over 100 years old, but it also would have been in place when the first hotel burned in 1915.

Catholic Bishop Visits Huletts Landing

On Saturday evening, July 12th, the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Albany, Edward B. Scharfenberger, D.D., visited Huletts Landing to celebrate Mass at the Chapel of the Assumption. The Chapel was filled to capacity with local residents who greeted the Bishop enthusiastically.

The Gospel reading was from Matthew 13:1-23 and the Bishop’s sermon was on the sower who went out to sow seeds.

After Mass, a reception and dinner was held on the Huletts Landing Property Owner’s Civic Association’s beach and pavilion. As the dinner was beginning, rain poured down making for an intimate dinner as all retreated to the cover of the pavilion.

The Bishop greeted everyone warmly throughout the evening, and it was an enjoyable faith-filled night for all.

Many thanks to Bishop Scharfenberger for visiting, Fr. Rendell Torres for organizing the event, and all the many volunteers who made the evening so enjoyable.

Huletts will long remember the Bishop who came to spread the faith and visit our special community.

POST Plan Survey Mailed / Only Option 1 Will Keep Huletts Post Office Open

Today, I received the official Post Plan Customer Survey in the mail regarding the Huletts Landing Post Office. I have been posting for almost two years that this survey would be coming in the mail to anyone with a Huletts mailing address. Well, today that day has come.

Please review the post here, if you are unfamiliar with this issue.

Please note that voting for option 1, keeping the Huletts Post Office open with reduced weekday window service options, is the only option that will keep the Huletts Post Office open. Voting for any of the other options will be a vote to close the Huletts Post Office.

Here is a copy of the survey you will receive if you have a mailing address in Huletts Landing (with option one checked). Please note that option one is the correct one to choose, if you want to see the Huletts Landing Post Office remain open.

Lake Restaurant Review: Blue Water Manor Tavern on the Lake


Blue Water Manor’s Tavern on the Lake offers a delightful dining experience on Lake George.

I know many people like to go out to eat by boat. So this year, I thought I’d start doing “reviews” of places that I’ve tried and enjoyed.

If you’re looking for a nice place to eat on Lake George that’s accessible by boat, you might want to consider Blue Water Manor’s Tavern on the Lake. Located in Basin Bay in Bolton, the new owners have recently constructed new docks for lakeside visitors.


A view from the lakeside, as you come in by boat.

It sits high off the water, offering commanding views from it’s lakeside bar. The food was delicious but expect to climb the stairs to enjoy the ambiance.


There was ample docking the day I visited, but is on a ‘first come – first serve’ basis.
