The hamlets of Keene and Keene Valley are known as the "Home
to the High Peaks" boasting the
greatest number of peaks in a single location. These mountains rise
majestically in the Keene Valley Region making this area a meca
for hikers, climbers and other visitors who wish to experience the
breathtaking beauty of the Adirondack mountains. There are literally
hundreds of trails located in the tiny hamlet of Keene including
the trail to the summit of Mt. Marcy, the highest mountain in New
York State.
The
History of Keene
Keene received its charter on March 19, 1808. It consists of the
hamlets of Keene, Keene Valley and St. Huberts. It was formed from
portions of Elizabethtown and Jay and until 1848 included all of
the land now lying in North Elba, which is now home to Lake Placid,
host to two winter Olympic Games. After
the Civil War, a young landscape artist by the name of Perkins settled
in the area for two years. His beautiful paintings inspired his
colleagues to travel to the Adirondacks to see what he had seen.
As this local population of artists expanded, the Keene Valley Region
became a popular retreat for writers and artists. Today, Keene is
home to many respected authors and artists who find inspiration
in the natural beauty of the High Peaks.
