31st Annual Preservation Awards Ceremony
Friday, October 2 | 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM | The Lodge at Schroon Lake, Schroon Lake
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating accomplishments in historic preservation throughout the Adirondack region at our annual awards program in October! This year’s event was held at The Lodge at Schroon Lake, a 2024 AARCH Preservation Awardee.
AARCH’s Annual Preservation Awards Ceremony recognizes the individuals, businesses, communities, and organizations whose efforts exemplify the best of historic preservation work in the Adirondack region and make preservation such an important part of the region’s vitality.
We honored our 2026 awardees at the former Brown Swan Club, now The Lodge at Schroon Lake. Designed by Glens Falls architect Ward Shippey for proprietor Philip Rice, the Brown Swan Club was established in 1916 as an Adirondack resort and expanded in 1929. In 2022, Saratoga Springs-based construction and development company Bonacio, Inc. worked with the new owners to transform the property into The Lodge at Schroon Lake.
