History
Myron O. Brown and the Green Island Improvement Company opened The Sagamore on July 2, 1883, a Queen Anne shingle hotel by the Wilson Brothers of Philadelphia. Named for the Algonquian title sagamore (and for Cooper's Chingachgook), it burned, was rebuilt in 1894, burned again, and rose a third time in 1930 as a four-wing house around a signature tower. The 1954 Governors Conference used the island; Historic Hotels of America enrolled the resort in 2014.
