Gooley Club

Uncommon card · No. 76620

The Gooley Club was a private hunting and fishing club in the towns of Minerva, Newcomb and Indian Lake, New York, United States. Located on two large parcels around the Hudson River and the Essex Chain of Lakes in the Adirondack Mountains, it had received hunting and fishing tourism since the 19th century. The club was officially formed in 1947 on land leased from lumber company Finch, Pruyn and Company, which maintained the leases until it sold its Adirondack holdings in 2007. It operated until 2018, when its lease with the state of New York—which had acquired the land for its Forest Preserve—terminated. Despite an effort to preserve the club and its 2018 listing on the National Register of Historic Places, at the end of the lease, its facilities were demolished and removed between 2018 and 2021.
