Wiawaka, LGRCC&CVB, Celebrate Restoration of Historic Building

LAKE GEORGE — Wiawaka Center for Women located on the eastern shores of Lake George has announced that the restoration of the House of Trix is complete. This project was funded by a grant from the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust. Their generosity helped to get this much needed work completed. The House of Trix is the only building onsite that is used for programs, art workshops, historical presentations, wellness classes and other small events. The entire property is on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Wiawaka celebrated this completed restoration on Tuesday, June 29, 2021, with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce & CVB.

Watch the video of the ceremony below.
