History of the Sagamore
The Sagamore opened in 1883, financed by a number of prominent summer residents. It succeeded in attracting a wealthy clientele.
Twice damaged by fire, in 1893 and 1914, The Sagamore was fully reconstructed in 1930 through the efforts of Dr. William G. Beckers of New York City, one of the hotel's early stockholders, and William H. Bixby, a St. Louis industrialist. Together they financed the cost in spite of the bleak economic climate of the period.
Throughout its history, The Sagamore has been a social center for wealthy tourists and residents of Millionaires Row, the stately mansions along Lake George's western shore.
The hotel eventually fell into disrepair before closing its doors in the 1970s. In 1983, one hundred years after construction of the first Sagamore, builder and real estate developer Norman Wolgin, of Philadelphia, purchased the hotel and restored it. The Sagamore is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
