FULTON COUNTY FARMHOUSE
Rock-studded soil and seven cold weather months made most Adirondack farms a subsistance proposition. Dairy farming, with hay and corn planted for the long winter's silage, is the exception even today.
Although it shares their austere lines, this house is ornamented by "town colors" rather than the white or unpainted clapboards of the usual Adirondack farmhouse. Lamplight in its windows was once a traveller's first sign that he was nearing the village of Mayfield.
