A CORNERSTONE OF OLD FORGE COMMERCE for over 100 years, this haunt has been a part of our lives…read moresince we were nigh high to an early season corn stock, walking into the sprawling store hand in hand with our mother to purchase fishing tackle, suntan lotion, bug spray, or many other essentials of Adirondack life. From wind chimes, electronics & lightbulbs, to furniture, knick-knacks, candy, and cookware, this shop has it all. But now, it's near and dear to my heart, not just for the rustic decor and furniture that have graced our family camp's interior for years... But because of the books... Old Forge Hardware's vast bookstore is hands down the largest and broadest in genre scope for 100 miles, stocked to the stacks with ADK history, Art, how-to books, true crime, kids' books, adult fantasy & my favorite: HORROR. This place simply put, is FANTASTIC.

From the owner: T.C. Murphy Lumber Company can be proud to be selling the worlds most renewable resource, lumber,…read moreat one end of its business and generating its electrical needs by using another renewable resource, water, at the other end. Adirondack ingenuity, hard work and a true respect for the environment can be used to sum up these real life historical events that have taken place at the mill creek dam. The mill was powered by a 21″ S. Morgan Smith Turbine that with a 17-foot head developed 59 horsepower. The water was brought into the mill through a large wood flume and pen stock. The flume was unusual in that four or five logs could be floated in and lifted at the same time with a jack rig, putting the logs onto the skids and ready to roll on to the carriage. In 1958, the wood flume and pen stock were very rotten. The turbine was worn out, and estimates for replacing it were over $6,000 for materials alone. This brought about the decision to pour a concrete wall that would seal off the flume and shut down the Saw Mill. For the first time in 131 years the land on the east side of the mill creek dam did not use the power of the water to operate machinery. This changed with George Van Voorhis III’s vision to use the energy from the dam to produce electricity for the Lumber Company. In 1979 the vision became a reality with the purchase of a 1933 S. Morgan Smith hydroelectric turbine that produces 95 horsepower.

However the restaurant owners were on vacation leaving me with a 15 minute waiting time before Curtis lumber opened at 7am. Curtis lumber has been in existence for over 100 years and is headquartered in Ballston Spa near where I live. They have over 23 locations in upstate NY. They carriy a selection of plywood, treated lumber, dimension lumber, hardwood and engineered lumber. To make things simpler its just a lowes or home depot that is locally owned and smaller in size. Buy and shop local.

What a disgrace to call this a family run and family oriented business. It is nothing of the kind…read more Jay-K was a legit family run and oriented business. I understand the purpose of a business is to make a profit but to do so at the expense of the community and the employees is not. I would recommend Lincoln Davies, Ilion Lumber or many other of the small family owned and operated suppliers in the area every day over Curtis Lumber which is simply concerned with the dollars at the end of the day rather than the wellness of the community or the future of its staff. I have been very successful in my career and have had the opportunity to shop at many Curtis locations. I shopped at them only because they had bought up the local stores and in some cases shut them down and there simply was no alternative within a decent range. I just paid the price and went on with things. Almost always, the employees (salespeople and yard workers) were top notch but boy oh boy did I hear many complaints about the management. Both from said employees and other customers. It seemed like policies were designed to alienate and annoy the customers, the people who keep a store open. Yes they offer a military discount but to make it so that EVERY TIME I SHOP, I must go through a ten question interrogation, pull out ID's, ...spend an extra 5 minutes in line to do so and annoy anyone in line behind me (which actually there rarely is) to get a 10 percent discount which might just might bring the item(s) cost in line with the competitors prices seams ridiculous. Put me on file until I am dead and when my name pops up...give me the discount or simply do not offer it at all. Everything they do seems to annoy me as a customer. One time I was told an item was in stock and when I stopped in to pick up said item. I was told "in stock" meant that one of the Curtis locations had at least one of the item in inventory. That could have been Ballston Spa or even Vermont. I guess the management at Curtis does not consider that a lie and maybe technically it isn't but to mislead a customer in that way is just another example of hot to disenfranchise a customer. Please people take care of the businesses that take care of you. Curtis Lumber I assure you is NOT one of them.

As a bonus, their collection of gifts and local décor is fun to browse and their Christmas display is not to be missed. Love this store!
