Amsterdam

Many of Great Sacandaga Lake’s most popular attractions are located close to Amsterdam, so it is a convenient place to base yourself. Two sights that should be at the top of every visitor’s itinerary is the fascinating Walter Elwood Museum and the much-loved Fort Johnstown. Also worth checking out are the Johnstown Historical Society and the Johnson Hall State Historic Site.

You’ll find some unique cultural highlights in and around Amsterdam. Join a tour, admire the architecture or simply enjoy the beautiful artworks at Schenectady Museum in Schenectady and Brookside Museum in Ballston Spa. Book seats for one or two of the magical theater, dance and music performances at Proctors Theater in Albany.

At the end of a day taking in the sights around Amsterdam, recharge your batteries at one of the area’s hotels or serviced apartments. Whether you’re staying for a night or a few weeks check out the Holiday Inn SCHENECTADY, the Days Inn Schenectady, and the popular Super 8 Schenect/Albany Area, Schenectady.
