Camp Uncas, located on the Lake Mohegan in Hamilton County, NY, is one of the first Adirondack camps to be planned as a single unit. Designed by William West Durant, a real-estate investor and proponent of the region, the camp was devised to promote the area as a premier resort for affluent Americans. Over a fifteen-year period leading up to the design and construction of Camp Uncas, Durant experimented with combining rustic architectural expression and urban comforts.
