Below are local businesses in the outer Plattsburgh Region (including Saranac, Redford, Clayburg, Dannemora) that our visitors and residents may find helpful.  This region is country, but enjoys being minutes away from city (Plattsburgh). For those who can't decide between country living and city living, this region is the best of both!  It gets better with Canada to explore within a hour drive!  Please explore. 

 

The Town of Saranac (not to be confused with Saranac Lake) is on the western edge of Clinton County resting in the Adirondack Park.  The town was named for its river, which was named for an Indian term meaning "river flowing under a rock" or "entrance of a river into a lake'.  The beautiful Saranac River (which begins at Saranac Lake, NY) runs through the town and empties into Lake Champlain.  Saranac River has been the history's life force for over 200 years with use before roadways, for log drives and then building of dams.  In the 19th Century, the hamlet of Redford produced high quality plate glass throughout the nation, by Redford Crown Glass Works.  These pieces are sought after by collectors.  In the 1800's, Saranac iron was praised for its quality and used in the construction of Civil War warships such as the Monitor.  In the 19th century, production of iron became uneconomical, and farming replaced the days of the forges.  Saranac rolling hills and valley vistas invite tourists to the Adirondack.  There are annual water canoe races, picnics and celebrations.
