Along
Rt. 52 and Powder Mill Road in the Town of Newburgh sits Algonquin
Park and I have passed it bye for as long as I have lived here. Then
one day I saw what looked like the ruins of an old stone house.
With camera in hand, I hiked the trails through the woods and beheld
the remains of several stone buildings that once housed the Orange Mill,
a gun powder factory, that dates back to the early 1800's. Scattered
along the wooded trains, ponds and streams are the ruins of the buildings

Colden House
Once
an elegant colonial home, the Colden House suffered it's fate because
it was owned by the Tory Governor. Part of the house, the ver Plank
Room, was salvaged and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
in New York City. Over the year I have seen it decay to it's present
state of rubble.
