Wahcoloosencoochaleva, or The Great Carrying Place of the Adirondacks was historically the area where the native people got out of their canoes or kayaks and carried them for more than 20 miles to the Lake George basin. We imagine they traded what they created, hunted, and gathered during their journey through the Hudson River to the Adirondack Mountains.

Deep in the roots of this community is the desire to work with our hands and live off the land. We are rich with makers of hand crafted art and home made goods. It’s in our nature and our hearts. The Great Carrying Place brings prosperity and sustainability to our region while creating connections and putting makers on the map.

Please honor our roots and explore our region, at our Market Event, Sunday, October 25th 10AM to 2PM, in the Farmer’s Market space, 57 South Street, Glens Falls,

and at The Great Carrying Place in November 2026, 20 Maple Avenue, Glens Falls NY, 12801
