Chris and Diane Gaige in their "Woody Boat"
Old Forge residents Doc and Judy Foley will join the Town of Webb Historical Association in presenting a narrated tour of the Fulton Chain of Lakes aboard antique wooden boats on Saturday, September 17.
The event will begin at 1 p.m.
All proceeds will benefit the Goodsell Museum, home of the Town of Webb Historical Association.
Dunn’s Boat Marine of Big Moose Lake and Rivett’s Marine of Old Forge will each provide a boat, along with many other wooden boats from private individuals.
Each boat will have a driver and a narrator to detail the history of various points of interest along the way.
The tour will last approximately two hours.
The cost is $50 per person for this inaugural event and includes a complimentary drink/beverage of your choice at Sister’s Bistro, Tony Harper’s Too or Slickers at the conclusion of the tour.
Boarding will take place at the Old Forge Pond navigation docks and plenty of parking will be available at the Hemmer Cottage.
Due to limited seating, it is suggested that reservations be made early by calling (315) 369-3838.
No tickets will be sold the day of the event. Rain date is Sunday, September 18.
“We hope people will take advantage of this opportunity to ride in a vintage boat-the way visitors did many years ago-as they learn more about many of the structures that still exist along the shore, as well as the location of historical sites,” said TOW Historical Director Gail Murray.
