Sugarloaf
Left to Public

even Mccormack said that
Strong was perfectionist-the
man baSically was humaniSt
who longed TO help elevate his
fellow man to partnership with
the grandeur of nature
To that end. Strong literally
performed a face lifting opera
ton on Sugarloaf before he
died in 1884 at the age of 81.
Before he died, he created a
corporation called Stronghold,
Inc. that administers the noun
tain as a free, public park. The
corporation is funded with we'll
over a million dollars in cash
and securities.
Under the provisions of his
late fathers will, Strong was re-
quired to use some of the estate
to found a boys school and he
chose his mountain as the per-
feet spot. Stronghold" Strong'S
home on the slope, is the re-
mainder of what started out to
be school. 1t later was
dropped
The steel and concrete man,
sion has 10 bedrooms and liv-
ing room 90 by 80 feet. 1t was
to have been one wing of the
/ school.
Mccormack tells how Strong
would tie bed sheets to trees
next to the buildings site and
then drive long distances away
to see if he could spot the build.
ing among the trees. He wanted
it to be visible.
One of Strong'S first tasks
at Sugarloaf was to make the
beautiful little lake at the bot.
tom of the East slope. So skill,
fully were his plans executed
that the lake looks like it was
made by the hand OF nature.
In reality, 1t was q marsh bi.
sected by watery ditch.
Strong hired private contrac-
tors to build a winding road to
the top of the mountain after
1926 when word of his work
spread to surrounding areas,
bringing curious visitors by the
scores. Motorists now may
drive to the end of the road, get
out and hike to the top of
Sugarloaf where in September,
1862, a Union Army officer was
conSternated to see Gen. Robert
E. Lees rebel troops crossing
