Great Camp Sagamore was built by William West Durant and bought by Alfred Vanderbilt in 1901 to be his family\'s Adirondack retreat.
Today, visitors to the Camp participate in maintaining its grandeur,.
After Margaret\'s death, though, the Camp changed hands and began to decline until it was rescued by preservationists and then became a National Historic Landmark in 2000.
Vanderbilt and his wife, Margaret, welcomed family and friends, who enjoyed its sprawling grounds and buildings for decades.
