The History of Hemlock Hall
The Main Lodge was built in 1898 during the Gilded Age as a private hunting camp for Mickel and Clara Paul. Originally named Nawadaha, an Ojibwe word meaning “in the midst of the rapids,” the camp was a retreat in the heart of the Adirondacks.
In 1948, Wesley and Eleanor Webb purchased the property and transformed it into a family vacation resort, renaming it Hemlock Hall. They built the motel units and many of the cottages that remain today. The resort now includes eight lodge rooms, four motel rooms, and ten cottages ranging from one to three bedrooms. In 1968, Robert and Jacqueline Webb took over operations and continued the resort’s traditions for the next 18 years.
In 1986, Paul Provost and his late wife, Susan, purchased Hemlock Hall from Bob and Jackie Webb. Having spent his childhood summers vacationing at Hemlock Hall, Paul was passionate about preserving the traditions and family atmosphere that made the resort so special. Together, Paul and Susan operated Hemlock Hall for more than three decades, welcoming generations of guests and creating lasting memories for countless families.
Today, Hemlock Hall is owned and operated by Anthony and Chelsea Provost. Anthony grew up at Hemlock Hall, forming friendships and memories that inspired his commitment to preserving its unique character. Together, Anthony and Chelsea continue the resort’s long tradition of warm hospitality while introducing a new generation of families to the timeless charm of an Adirondack vacation at Hemlock Hall.
