Crooked Lake House Ballroom Dance

Dancing is at the Crooked Lake House to the music of the Georgie Wonders Orchestra.

The Crooked Lake House, 518-674-3894, with its natural field stone architecture, is a historic hotel and restaurant. It first opened in 1780 and recently reopened under new ownership. It has a beautiful ballroom, but its restaurant is temporarily closed. The Crooked Lake House is a place of historical significance. In the 40's big bands, such as Glen Miller and Benny Goodman, played in the ballroom, and people traveled from all over to dance there. In their day the notorious Legs Diamond visited the hotel and restaurant, as did president Theodore Roosevelt.
