If you're looking for something "beautiful, peaceful, and with a lot of interesting history to it" the "amazing" Adirondack Museum is "like a Smithsonian on hundreds of acres," and comprises some 20 buildings on 32 acres with "stupendous views." The museum "captures all aspects of the park" and even features some of the "famous summer cottages from the Great Camps of the Vanderbilts." If you stop to explore this "fascinating" place, you'll be rewarded with "a few of the remaining examples of classic turn-of-the-century Adirondack style."
