Bear Mt. Inn plans re-opening gala in November

Bear Mt. — The Palisades Parks Conservancy will celebrate the reopening of the Bear Mountain Inn at a gala dinner on Friday, Nov. 11. When it was opened in 1915, The American Architect declared the Bear Mountain Inn to be one of the “finest eamples of rustic Adirondack architecture in America.” The inn recently underwent extensive renovations to restore its original rustic splendor and keep its proud desigantion on both the National and N.Y.S. Register of Historic Places. For the re-opening dinner, Chef Michael Matarazzo will fire up the sparkling new kitchen burners to create a meal to be served in the restored dining room.
