These mountains are full of art. The very idea of “vacation” originated from urban elites choosing to “vacate” the cities to visit unspoiled wilderness as depicted by painters, artists, and illustrators of the 19th century. In the 21st century, that allure is enhanced by visionaries of all media who experience, interpret, and represent their passions for the benefit of patrons and passersby. The Adirondack Artists’ Guild caters to the passerby who steps in and is transported to new worlds, or new ways to see the old worlds. Check it out. You won’t be sorry.

Saranac Laboratory Museum

Built in 1894, The Saranac Laboratory was the first lab built in the U.S. for the research of tuberculosis. Historic Saranac Lake painstakingly restored the building and opened it as a museum in 2009. The museum is open with exhibits on scientific research and patient care. Historic Saranac Lake is not-for-profit architectural preservation organization that captures and presents local history from our center at the Saranac Laboratory Museum.

My sister, brother, and I discovered this museum accidentally. For us it prompted many memories of our mother who had been a patient at Ray Brook in the 1930's. The displays and the DVD presentation captured the reality of her life during her treatment and recovery from TB.

This state-of-the-art facility is so beautifully rustic and modern at the same time. The grounds are meticulous and have some really interesting exhibits. Inside, there are several exhibits, namely paintings, sculptures, music/dance, and photography (my personal favorite). The staff is especially helpful in offering suggestions as to where to start and what to think about in each exhibit. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!
