About Wiawaka Holiday House

Wiawaka is one of the oldest and longest continously operated retreats for women in America. Mary Wiltsie Fuller established Wiawaka in 1903. A progressive activist for women's rights, she saw the need for an affordable respite for female immigrants working in the shirt-collar factories, mills and laundries of her native Troy, and Cohoes. Today, Wiawaka continues as a summer retreat for women.
