Whitney Park auction features Adirondack guideboats, art, duck decoys, and more

Key Points:

• Whitney Park, a historic 36,000-acre property in the Adirondacks, is up for sale with a $125 million asking price, and hundreds of items from the estate will be auctioned online later this month by Blanchard’s Auction Service.
• The auction features a wide range of items including old hickory furniture, over two dozen guideboats, duck decoys, high-end art such as a Ralph Cahoon painting, and unique memorabilia like a silver-engraved walking stick belonging to Whitney Park’s founder, William Whitney.
• The auction offers items at various price points, from affordable $50 mementos to high-value pieces worth up to $50,000, making it accessible to both local buyers and collectors furnishing great camps.
• Interested bidders can preview the items in person from August 11-13 at the auction hall in Potsdam, while the auction itself will be conducted entirely online on August 14, allowing nationwide participation.
• The sale of Whitney Park has been pending for over a year, with a previous deal involving a Texas developer falling through, adding significance to the upcoming auction of estate items as the property seeks a new owner.
