THE ADIRONDACKS | Adirondack Great Camps | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/theadirondacks We'll wield hammer and nail with a team restoring a lavish 19th century compound, Camp Santononi. We'll travel to another famous Adirondack great camp, Sagamore, once a summer residence of the Vanderbilt's. Formerly retreats for the super-rich, these stunning icons are a testament to the region's tourism industry that still thrives today. For more information visit http://www.pbs.org/theadirondacks

These people were way too rich! Wonder if they appreciated what they had and if they appreciated all the help.
