50th Anniversary Celebration of Conservation Dept.

Crowds throng the shore of Lake Placid, enjoying the water and watching boaters on the lake. The man in the grey suit and hat is Lithgow Osborne, Commissioner of the Conservation Department. This photograph was taken at the celebration commemorating the fifty year anniversary of the law which established the Forest Commission, the ancestor of the Conservation Department, as well as the Adirondack Forest Preserve. This image was created to record the festivities sponsored by the Conservation Department commemorating the anniversary.
