cambridge-hotel.jpgThere is more to an overnight stay than electronic keycards, squawking elevators and noisy ice makers. How about fresh air, quiet nights and the kind of pie you read about in great American novels?

The Cambridge Hotel in Cambridge NY harkens back to a time when train whistles blew and lemonade and mint juleps were enjoyed on shady verandas. Seventeen rooms boast all the modern conveniences with the charm and one-of-a-kind elegance of true Victorian style. Add to the comfort, the simple thrill of tasting "pie ala mode" where it was invented.

Another option made for those traveling with boats or bikes, or who simply love the water, is the Lock 12 Marina on the shores of Lake Champlain in Whitehall. Drop anchor and enjoy beautifully appointed rooms overlooking the Lake, drinks in The Black Pearl and made-to-order meals in the on site restaurant, Finch & Chubb. A short drive, by water or land, leads to the memory of a lifetime.

fort-ann-players.jpgTheatre through the ages has taken place everywhere from fields and amphitheatres, to grand halls and beyond. Throughout Washington County theatre-goers will enjoy everything from pastoral performances at "The Little Theater on the Farm" in Fort Edward to shows of suspension within a performance space built on a bridge over the Champlain Canal Lock 12. Others may enjoy theatre in the Fort Salem Theater, also known as the Brick Church, whose history involves repeatedly rising from the ashes to be rebuilt.

Whether you are seeking Shakespeare or late night cabaret you'll find it in Washington County without giving up the inimitable and endlessly appealing flair of the region.
