Marcy Field hosts farmer's markets, concerts and other events year round but it is also full of history and is an actual airstrip! The FAA identifier for this field is 1I1. The first airmail flight in the Adirondacks left Marcy field in 1938 carrying 800 letters brought from neighboring post offices. And the pilot was Dr. Alphonzo Goff who was responsible for Marcy Field coming into being. He was also an amazing doctor who made house calls, was known for never charging for his services and is responsible for delivering many of the residents of our region. The town's oldest building, the Holt House, sits in this field and is used now for many events. Of course the views and the swimming in the Ausable River make this space so special, it is your welcome entry into the beautiful Adirondacks- it is after all named after NY's highest peak- Mt. Marcy. The High Peaks are surrounding you, hope you enjoy the beauty!
