Revolutionary history. Rebellious Spirits.

War Cannon Spirits is situated amidst the historic allure of two 18th century forts, nestled along the scenic shores of Lake Champlain. These forts, intricately intertwined with both regional and national history, serve as a constant source of inspiration. It is within this backdrop of rich heritage and breathtaking natural beauty that War Cannon Spirits was born. Our vision encompasses not only the creation of exceptional spirits but also the remarkable restoration of a landmark venue. Through our passionate endeavors, we are driven to capture the true essence of New York and the Adirondack North Country, striving to showcase the unparalleled treasures they hold to all who step foot within our doors.

Our Tasting Room Was Built In 1820. It was used as a mill when Putnam Creek was dammed and a pond existed behind the site. There were many alterations and additions over the last 200 years, yet the core still remains one of the oldest structures of its kind.

We also offer a casual, yet elevated pub style menu to seamlessly complement our spirits and cocktails, as well as a coffeehouse, retail bottle room, event space and catering.

Nestled in the picturesque Adirondack Mountains overlooking gorgeous Schroon Lake, the Schroon Sandwich Shop serves breakfast and lunch daily.

Frontier Town was born in 1952 as the dream child of Arthur Bensen, an entrepreneur from Staten Island. Until the late 1990s, the park was an exciting destination for generations of families looking for an escape from day-to-day life.

With unique attractions such as Prairie Junction, Pioneer Village, Indian Village, a rodeo arena, and a small railroad, Frontier Town became a warm and welcoming gem in the heart of the Adirondacks. After its closure in 1998, it was mourned by local communities as a loss

to the changing times and was remembered with fondness as a staple of the area.

A new generation of North Country families are now able to enjoy a taste of Frontier Town thanks to Muhammad “Mo” Ahmad, a local businessman intent on renewing this incredible asset and drawing adventurers to the shimmering lakes and wooded trails in the North Hudson area. The Frontier Town Gateway also provides a place for the local community to gather together over the warmth of a hot drink or delicious meal. The A-frame – the largest of its kind in the Northeast – has become a central hub for events and gatherings, and carries a variety

of goods, from wares by local artisans to an assortment of camping gear and supplies. Events at the Frontier Town Gateway range from job fairs to car shows to bonfires with our Schroon Lake area neighbors! Plus, there’s plenty more to come in the future! 

9 Mile Coffee opened in June 2018 with the goal of bringing people and coffee together. We believe in community, and that a small destination town doesn’t have to live without great coffee. You can expect to be met by our friendly staff and a delicious cup of coffee that is always crafted with care. We proudly partner with Kru Coffee Roasters in Saratoga Springs, NY for all of our coffee needs!
