The Sculpture Garden and Studio are located on the site of an historic 19 century wood products mill which played a central role in the personal and economic lives of the local population. Van Alstine acquired the property in 1987 and has restored the building and surrounding landscape. The property was awarded the “2000 Adaptive Historic Re-use” award by AARCH (Adirondack Architectural Heritage Organization) – a branch of the National Preservation Society. The restored living space will be featured in an upcoming national broadcast of reZONED on HGTV (Home and Garden TV)
