A History of the Altona Flat Rock, Silver Anniversary Edition
The Altona Flat Rock is spectacular. Its natural physical beauty is outstanding, its glacial story is dramatic to the highest degree, and its place in North Country history is unique, remarkable, and undeniable.
This updated version of the 1980 original work takes the reader directly to the source, with many new photographs documenting the Flat Rock’s features, both natural and man-made. It’s the next best thing to being there.
Though its intrinsic beauty remains, much has changed on The Rock in the past twenty-five years. The site has been officially defined as a Sandstone Pavement Barrens by New York State, which places it at the very top of the list of endangered ecological systems. It is the rarest among the rare, with fewer than twenty similar sites existing around the globe. » More Details
