Originally part of a land grant to the Earl of Hillsborough, the property occupied by the Hillsboro Club was first acquired and developed in 1923 as the winter campus of the Lake Placid School, an elite boys' school.

Herbert Malcolm, the headmaster of the school, used the original buildings to house the boys and their visiting parents.

The parents loved the surroundings so much that they persuaded Mr. Malcolm to convert the campus into an exclusive fishing lodge, and so began the resort that gradually evolved into the Hillsboro Club of today.

Over the years the families kept returning to their club, the children grew up and brought their children, and Hillsboro grew to accommodate them all.

It's not unusual to meet families who have been Hillsboro members for several generations.

We believe families keep coming to Hillsboro because it is one place that works for everyone. It is a place where children, parents and grandparents can all have their own particular way of spending the day, but also share time together.

Hillsboro continues through its families.
