The Winery at St. George Structure Turns 100 Years Old on May 23, 2012

Celebrating 100 years at the Old Stone Church, now The Winery at St. George 1715 E. Main Street, Route 6 in Mohegan Lake NY.

The year was 1912. Few historical events withstand the test of time.

In March of that year, the Japanese bestowed a gift to the United States by given her over 3,000 cherry blossoms trees. In April, a luxury liner named Titanic hit an Iceberg in the north Atlantic, on her maiden voyage and sunk, killing more than 1,500 people and in May, a tiny little chapel, located in Lake Mohegan, New York, was dedicated as the Church of Saint George.

This was an excerpt taken from the new book entitled, "One Hundred Years in the Making," a history of the old stone church, due out in the summer of 2012.
