The town is also known as "Tahawus" It is accessible to the public; there is a trailhead parking lot there for one of the hiking trails. This is probably the best example of a ghost town in New York State. The road is closed but people can still enter by foot. Most of the original buildings are still standing though in very poor condition and are not safe to enter. Most impressive is the original Iron Ore Mine and furnace still intact.
