Athol, NY Cemetery








While on our excursion through small Adirondack towns yesterday, we stopped at a small old cemetery in Athol. I have ancestors from the towns of Athol, Thurman and Stony Creek. I was wondering if there may have been any of them buried in this particular place. We stopped and were lucky enough to find ancestors with the names Frost, Aldrich and Larkin. I think they are brothers and sisters of my direct ancestors, but it was still exciting to find a connection to my family history in one of these beautiful old towns.

Scenic Adirondack Mountain Drive







Eddie and I decided to take a drive through some towns in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. We live a little south of where we drove, but some of the towns we drove through are actually towns that my ancestors are from. We drove through Lake George, Warrensburg, Athol, Thurman, Stony Creek, Hadley, Lake Luzerne and Corinth. We stopped at several scenic places along the way as well as out to lunch, antique shops, cemeteries, and town parks. I will add more posts with all of the great things we did on our outing. It was a great day for a drive!
