Camp Deerslayer At Cherry Tree Point Next Summer
Camp Deerslayer, the summer camp of the Otsego-Schoharie Boy Scout Council, will have a new location on Otsego Lake, the Clark Estates, thru Mr. Waldo C. Johnston, having donated Cherry Tree Point for this purpose.
Cherry Tree Point is located on the east shore of the lake about three and one half miles from Cooperstown, and is one of the most attractive spots on the lake. With the point goes considerably adjacent property so that there is ample space for all kinds of sports in connection with the camp life.
The offer of the location was formally made and accepted at a meeting of the Council held at Tryon Tavern in Cherry Valley Friday evening.
For the past two seasons Camp Deerslayer has been located at Hyde Bay and considerable interest has been shown both seasons. The new site, however, is more accessible and will permit of great development, and the move is regarded as wide on the part of all interested in the promotion of Camp Deerslayer.
The site include a permanent building which is large enough to be used as an assembly hall. The grounds more than adequate for camp purposes allow for every camp activity. The shore is gravel with a gentle slope out into the water making the beach safe for beginners learning to swim. For regular swimmers there is plenty of depth for diving at the end of the dock.
Plans are now being made for the development of the site so that it will be ready for use next summer. The plans include the placing of tents, sanitary arrangements, and mess shack emplacement. It is fully expected that the council will have a well equipped camp next summer.
No Doubt may scouts are looking forward to another season of splendid camping on Otsego Lake.

Tryon Tavern Opens
Tryon Tavern, at Historic Cherry Valley, opens for the season this Saturday. Since last year a complete new kitchen has been built, also an additional dining room to insure immediate service to their dinner guests, and avoid the delays in obtaining tables which crowds last season sometimes made unavoidable.
The now dining room will be known as the Corner Cupboard Room, and like the rest of the Tavern is furnished with beautiful antiques. Among these are some fine specimens of early beginning ware and English Stafford shire cottage ornaments loaned the management. There are also interesting old documents, etc., framed on the walls. It has been planned to give this room a cozy intimate atmosphere, and how successfully this has been accomplished can only be appreciated by those who have seen it.
The new kitchen is not only much larger than the old one but contains every moden appliance for the preparation of delicious food. The equipment is largely electrically operated. The venting system is unusual, in that air is taken out from opposite aids of the room insuring a complete change of air every fifteen minutes.
As now completed, the company expects to give guests immediate dinning service at all times, obviating the necessity of waiting for tables to be available as so often occurred last season.

TRYON TAVERN FIRST HOSTELRY WEST OF ALBANY
Delightful are the accommodations at Tryon Tavern which becomes a tourist retreat and an attraction to many as Cherry Valley becomes a center of Historic interest in the restored across-state highway and the Turnpike road which is marvelous scenic beauty gives appeal for tourists from any-state in the union.
Because of its prominence, it was natural that it should plan an important part in the up-building of the vast region tot he west, and that there should be a demand for a tavern of public house at an early date. In 1786 Thomas Whittaker opened on the site afterwards occupied by the old “Tryon House” what was probably the first Tavern in these parts. In 1799 the State Legislature granted a charter for a turnpike to be build from Albany to the hostelry of John Walton in Cherry Valley, and in 1815 there were several taverns in the town.
A few years later, during the busy stage-coach days when the turnpike was the great artery of travel east and west across New York State, a new hotel was build on the Whitaker site, known as “Tryon House”. It became famous for its accommodations and meals and was the stopping place for the great lumbering passenger coaches, passing between Albany and the west. The building was destroyed by fire in 1866.
Founded by John Lindesay in 1740, Cherry Valley became even before the Revolution, the most important settlement in Tryon county south of the Mohawk.
Now that the Cherry Valley Turnpike is again the principal road west from Albany, and thousands of automobiles have replaces the old coaches, it is appropriate that Cherry Valley should again become an attractive stopping place for motorists passing over this historic road, and that its modern hotel should be known as Tryon Tavern in honor of its illustrious predecessor.
