Ride Details

Best of all, the event benefits the Penfield Homestead Museum in historic Ironville, known as the "Birthplace of Electrical Age." The museum is not just a homestead, but a group of 19th century buildings and extensive grounds. During your visit, you can check out the home built by Allen Penfield, farm yard barns, a church and parsonage built in the 1840s.

And if you make a full weekend of it, The Lodge at Schroon Lake - our official lodging partner for the southern Adirondacks - has a sweet deal for you. Click the Lodging tab above for details.
