Each year Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks provides a dozen benches for weary travelers along Main St. in Old Forge.

Due to the nature of the local tourist season the Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks celebrates its Kiwanis One Day of Community Service on two days. One Day when the Main St. Benches are put out in spring and One Day when they are taken in for winter storage.

For over 23 years, these benches have provided an opportunity for travelers, tourists and locals to sit, rest, and watch the world go by. Benches are placed along Main St. in time for Memorial Day weekend in the spring and placed in storage shortly following Columbus Day in the autumn.
