New life for Cranberry Lake’s only store
Community celebrates transformation of Lakeside General Store. When a Brzostek’s Real Estate Auction sign appeared in front of the Lakeside General Store in Cranberry Lake last summer, the first reaction for many was worry. “The biggest little store in the Adirondacks” was the only store for miles and rumors flew that a Lake George developer wanted to tear it down for waterfront homes.
Hub showcases Cranberry Lake ‘magic’
Community rallies to transform former church into new gathering place. Cranberry Lake is overflowing with history beginning with a timber crib dam in 1866 whose purpose was to “improve hydraulic power on the Oswegatchie.” Lumber companies, railroads, sportsmen, and tourists came after that. The Emporium Forestry Company expanded into the region in the first decades of the twentieth century and built a significant operation by 1917 with buildings that dominated the shores of Silver Lake and the edge of the hamlet.
