In 1867, Joseph Hillman, a real estate and insurance broker from Troy, and a small group of interested laymen and ministers of the Methodist Church visited the western shores of Round Lake. Impressed by the pine woods, the nearby farms, the availability of pure spring water, and the convenient train service, these men brought a larger group to survey the proposed camp meeting grounds. Forty acres were purchased that year.On May 5, 1868, the Round Lake Camp Meeting Association of the Troy Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was incorporated. Shortly tafter, a station, speakers' stand and a bookstore were built. Water for the fountains was brought down from the hill in wooden pipes; planks were installed across tree stumps for audiences, and tents provided for those who wished to rent them.The first camp meeting was held on September 1, 1868. It lasted for ten days and drew 2,000 to 8,000 people per day. By 1869 camp meetings drew tremendous crowds-20,000 at Sunday services.

The library is the second oldest in Saratoga County and the first to have its own building. As a result of such developments, the area became a cultural mecca.Accompanying this cultural expansion was a building boom. This activity was largely due to the vision and generosity of two men, the Reverend William Griffin, D.D., a trustee of the Association for almost 30 years and its president for 12, and the Honorable George West, Congressman from this district, owner of several paper mills and a trustee and treasurer of the Association.
