'Root" your next Adirondack Park trip around some of Adirondack's culture and history. You'll find yourself returning over and over again, as learning is essential for our souls and minds. So much to do, so much to visit. Did you know that VP Theodore Roosevelt was traveling through the Adirondacks when he hear he had to return because the President was shot? Or that the abolitionist, John Brown's homestead is in Lake Placid? Some our Great Camps are still standing strong and still get the visits of presidential and the prestigious. Fort Ticonderoga is our testament to our fight for freedom. Miners, loggers, artisans and cure cottages are another part of our rich cultural history. Works of Robert Louis Stevenson and Winslow Homer are a few to mention!
Below, for your exploration, are lists and lists of museums, interpretive centers, heritage tours, performing arts and visual arts. For more museums (click here). Please enjoy our Adirondack Park heritage. Many thanks!
* If you are a local historian, please e-mail us today, we'd LOVE to share your wealth of knowledge. Our surfers would love to enjoy an historical tale rich with heritage. It is simply amazing how our ancestors developed our country!
