50th Anniversary Celebration of Conservation Dept.

These young people are dressed in 19th century period costume and standing before a stage coach. This historical display is part of the 50th anniversary of the Conservation Department, perhaps a scene from the early days reenacted. This celebration commemorates 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.
