The Friends of Camp Santanoni, who manages this page, operates under the auspices of Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH). Santanoni was built for Robert and Anna Pruyn of Albany beginning in 1892. The estate eventually included 12,900 acres and nearly four-dozen buildings. Since 1972 the Santanoni Preserve has been owned by New York State. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a National Historic Landmark. AARCH has long been associated with the protection, interpretation and restoration of this regional treasure. How YOU Can Help:
In 1997, AARCH helped to create the Friends of Camp Santanoni, in order to provide long-term financial and volunteer support for conservation, interpretation, and public use of Camp Santanoni. The Friends is a partnership of non-profit organizations, the Town of Newcomb, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the thousands of people who love this special place and believe in its preservation and use for public education, recreation, and inspiration.
