The Allegany State Park Historical Society was formed in 1995 by a group interested in the park’s history. The group was was composed of former campers, park employees and retirees, former concessions workers, and other interested people. Some live nearby, and some travel from a distance.
The group meets on the third Saturday of the month–at the Red House Administration Building in the winter, and summmers at St. John’s-in-the-Woods in the Quaker Run Area. For more information, visit their website at www.asphs.org or drop in at the meeting on Saturday.

Does anyone know the date the park ended private ownership of cabins in Red House? Are there any lists of names and dates? It was rumored in my family that my grandparents owned a cabin in Red House untill it was no longer allowed and I would like more info. Thanks, Bob

I need to know what year the Allegheny State Park was first made into a park. Also are their any plant or animal species unique to the park area that are not found anywhere else in the USA? I write and illustrate the ALLEGHENY MAN comic strip for the Olean Times Herald.

Tim, ASP was officially opened, July 30,1921. Opening ceremonies were held at the former lumbering community of ‘Frecks’, which is today known as the Quaker Area. The newspaper reports are wonderful,Telling about lunch being served to all who attended, Plus the Buffalo Auto ccclub made it an excursion. Also reported, are names of those who made speeches, most of whom were original commisioners. My Grandfather, Cyrus Remington, was the first supt. . He surveyed the roadways thru the park, which for the most part, were former Grades for the old logging railways. One news report [Buffalo Express?] says that 2000cars and 10,000people were at the opening. Most of the early camping was done using surplus WWI equipment.

I’m looking for any information on the cabins that use to be along the north side of the road heading to the beehunter cabins. I’ve seen them there some 10 years ago (abandoned). I’d like to know there history. When built, what they might have been called? And finally, why they were torn down? I’m thinking that they where difficult to unload & load the car which made it a not very desirable location.

Also the cabins were built on the side of the hill because at the time they were built they had a great view of the Red House Lake

Hi there, I do believe your site could be
having internet browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Aside from that, fantastic website!

I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing issues with your site. It appears as though some of the text in your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen
previously. Appreciate it
