Talichito, also known as Camp Tali Chito, is a historic Adirondack seasonal camp located at Schroon Lake, Essex County, New York. The property was developed between 1917 and 1920, and includes an Adirondack style log and frame cabin, a small pump house, boathouse, and shed with icehouse. The cabin is a 1+1⁄2-story, "T"-plan structure consisting of a gable front main section with smaller gabled wings. It features a front verandah measuring 52 feet wide and 46 feet deep. It was developed by Paulding F. Sellers (1876-1950), a vice president of the Buffalo General Electric Company. ^[2]

It was built on a bare granite outcrop formerly known at The Watch Rock and the name "Talichito" is taken from the Choctaw word that means "a large stone." ^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. ^[1]
