Carney's Tavern
The Ballston Lake building that now houses Carney’s Tavern dates to at least 1845 and was used as a saloon, a barber shop and a grocery store before turning into a 10-room hotel in the late 1800s called Shendahora or Shenandahora. The place has always had a strong community connection. Posted on February 27, 2011.
Carney's Tavern in Ballston Lake has been a community meeting spot since the second half of the 19th century. It has gone through many name changes and was often called the Ballston Lake Hotel.
