Big Tree Lodge

In early days this was the home of banker Allen Ayrault and his wife Bethia. The Ayraults, promoters of business, civic, cultural and religious interests in the Valley, built this mansion in 1833 and called it "Big Tree Lodge". It was enlarged for use as an inn in 1886.

Marker is on Main Street (New York Route 39) just south of University Drive, on the right when traveling south.
