History

AARCH was formed in May, 1990, to promote public understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the Adirondacks' architectural heritage. The group was initially headed by Dr. Howard Kirschenbaum, who formed it in an effort to save historic

New York Forest Preserve. The effort was successful, and Santanoni draws more than fifteen thousand visitors a year.[2]
