News to Know With Axe Throwing, Letterboxing & More
Check Out Adirondack Axe at Fort William Henry

Warren County Brings Back the Letterboxing Challenge
Letterboxing, which is basically a treasure hunting expedition with orienteering, art, and puzzle solving, returns to the region in a fun way. The Warren County Historian Challenge takes participants to 13 different historic sites throughout the county as they work to solve a riddle. Once the riddle is solved, you find a stamp inside of a weatherproof letterbox and stamp a passport that keeps track of your progress.
