History of Wellness in the Adirondacks
The Point is proud to carry on the traditions of the Great Camp era, first established in the latter half of the 19th century when urban dwellers sought refined recreational refuge from the congestion of industrialized cities. In fact, our guests value this continuation of intimate splendor in a remote wilderness; a natural setting where health and wellness are restored.
The Adirondacks have long been a place of healing. Dr. Livingston Trudeau, born in 1848 in New York City, was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1873. The conventional wisdom of the time was to have patients experience a change in climate from congested cities to tempered wilderness with ample fresh air. The work of Dr. Livingston Trudeau, a pioneer in the theory of the ‘fresh air’ healing of tuberculosis had its genesis in the Saranac Lake region. This put Saranac Lake on the map as a healing destination.
