Promoting the Town of Warrensburgh's Historic Resources
An Investment in the Past for the Future

A new promotional video highlights Warrensburg’s historic districts, ongoing renovations and financial incentives designed to encourage reinvestment while preserving history.
The Town of Warrensburgh, established in 1813 along with Warren County, is rich in both natural and historic resources.  "Gateway to the Adirondacks", "Queen Village of the Adirondacks", "Antiques Capital of the Adirondacks", it is the hub for many County offices and home to one of only two County Fish Hatcheries in the State.  Hydropower led to many industries along the Schroon River, and both modest and majestic homes were built using locally sourced materials - mostly wood and stone.  Both private and commercial properties tell stories of the past, and are now being recognized for adaptive uses while preserving the character of the town. 
Just a few interesting facts:
  • Did you know… that in 1975 the Warrensburgh Mills Historic District, from the Woolen Mill Bridge to the Osborne Bridge, was listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places by the Warrensburgh Historical Society (one of the first National Register listed historic districts in the nation)?
  • Did you know…that in 2000 and 2001, the Hamlet of Warrensburgh Historic District (encompassing the original Warrensburgh Mills Historic District) with over 400 historic resources was listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places by Warrensburgh Beautification Inc.?
  • Did you know…that the Hamlet of Warrensburgh Historic District is the largest historic district in the Adirondack Region from Saratoga to the Canadian Border?
As an investor, what does this mean to you? It means that these properties already qualify for both Historic Commercial and Homeowner Tax Credit Programs, as well as matching grant programs offered by both the State and Federal governments for private investors. Also, both State and Federal Grant Funding is available for purchasing and renovating these properties if you are a nonprofit or a municipality.

This video refers to the economic incentives to investors made possible by the State and National recognition of the hamlet's historic buildings. Business owners share their stories of why they chose Warrensburgh, the support they have received from the community, and how working with Town government has allowed for present and future grant opportunities.
