EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph, taken circa 1928, the picturesque Agloe Lodge nestles at the confluence of the Beaverkill River and its tributary in Sullivan County, New York State, USA. The image offers a glimpse into the rural charm of America during the 1920s. Set against a backdrop of lush green hills and rolling countryside, the Agloe Lodge stands proudly, its white, two-story structure framed by the converging waters. The Beaverkill River, meandering through the landscape, showcases its crystal-clear waters, reflecting the vibrant hues of the surrounding foliage. The nearby fields, dotted with trees and dappled with sunlight, add to the idyllic scene. The Agloe Lodge, built in the late 1800s, was a popular destination for travelers and anglers seeking solace in the tranquil beauty of the countryside. The name "Agloe" is believed to have originated from the Dutch words "Ago's Hoeve," meaning "Ago's Farm." Despite its remote location, the lodge gained notoriety in the early 1930s when it became the subject of a clever hoax. An advertisement for the nonexistent "Erlbeck Map Company" appeared in the 1935 National Geographic Magazine, featuring a fictional map with the Agloe Lodge marked as a lodging establishment. This prank, known as the "Great Agloe Hoax," brought the lodge unexpected fame, and it remains a fascinating piece of American folklore to this day. This aerial photograph, captured in 1928, offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the Agloe Lodge in its original splendor before the hoax brought it international attention. The image invites us to imagine the stories of the travelers and adventurers who once sought refuge there, and to appreciate the timeless beauty of the rural landscape that surrounds it.
