Wiawaka Celebrates 120th Year

LAKE GEORGE — Wiawaka will be celebrating their 120th year this summer with an upcoming season featuring an array of enriching workshops, retreats, events, and programs.

“We take great pride in this historical milestone and express our deep gratitude to all our supporters who have been instrumental in helping us reach this significant achievement,” Doreen Kelly, Wiawaka’s Executive Director, said in a statement. 

Wiawaka Center for Women is a 501(c)3 charitable organization committed to enhancing the lives of women through wellness programs, workshops, events, and artistic celebrations. In 1908, renowned artist Georgia O’Keeffe became one of the first artists to stay at Wiawaka, and her room remains one of the most sought-after accommodations on the property.

Alongside overnight stays, healthy meals, day passes, season passes, and a host of programs are offered at the center. 

Noteworthy highlights include Georgia O’Keeffe Week, Artists in Residency Week, and SWIM Week honoring the remarkable women swimmers of Lake George, including Diane Struble, who made history as the first woman to complete the lake swim. 

Historical Tours take place 5 p.m. every Monday and reservations for a post-walk dinner may be made by calling 518-668-9690.
