Horseshoe Lake maple syrup industry / artifacts

Is there any maps and information on the horseshoe lake town? Fire took out that region but it would be interesting to know what was where. Artifacts is the lake maybe?

Not far away, A. A. Low had a thriving maple industry. you can still see the remains of the evaporator building with a white marble floor still intact, as well as other structures, somewhat removed from the other familar family ruins still seen at Lows Lake upper dam.

I still wonder what happened to AA Lows bronze tombstone markers for his dogs that were along the upper damn spillway...stolen I bet, but I hope someone saved them...

Thosw bronze markers got fewer & fewer over the course of the years to the point where, as you've noted, they're all gone. My guess is some unthinking individual thought it was more important for them to have a souvenir than it was to leave them alone for everyone else to see. So much for LNT...

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

I always hope someone donates them to the Tupper Lake or Blue Mt Lake Museum....or even Wanakena...
