This is a huge, historic acquisition! Follensby Pond was the site of the Philosopher's Camp just prior to the Civil War. I applaud the McCormick family for protecting this historic tract of land that is adjacent to the Raquette River between Long Lake and Tupper. I also off my sincere gratitude to The Nature Conservancy for seeking out beautiful properties such as this.

There seems to be quite a few structures along the shores... I wonder if they will ever take these down.
