Sunday Rock in the town of Colton stood at the threshold of the Adirondacks, where an Indian trail into the mountains once passed and where a sixty-four thousand pound glacial boulder served first Indians and later white settlers as a landmark dividing the settled valley from the great South Woods. The road by the rock became the way in for travelers and scores of loggers, and because life beyond it entered the timeless rhythm of camp and hunting country, people came to say that beyond the rock there was no Sunday, giving the boulder its name. Over time it became a symbol of arrival at a freer world of woods and mountains, inspiring a joyful ritual among those heading inward. In 1925, when Highway 56 was planned through its path, supporters led by Doctor C.H. Leete of Potsdam formed the Sunday Rock Association, raised two hundred sixty dollars from two hundred ten members across seven states, the District of Columbia, the Canal Zone and Canada, and had Joe Grew and his crew move the rock. In 1965, during another rebuilding of Highway 56, Supervisor George Swift organized its move to its present location, and land given to the Town of Colton by Mrs. Hilda Swift enlarged the site into the present park, where a 1976 Bicentennial Time Capsule was buried beneath the stone. Preserved by generations of affection, Sunday Rock remained a remembered boundary between everyday life and the enduring appeal of the Adirondack woods.
