During our recent vacation in the Adirondack mountains of New York, my
wife and I spent a day at The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, NY.
It describes itself as "a regional museum of history and art."  The
museum comprises about a dozen buildings housing displays of the region's
history - geological, natural, economic, and cultural - and fine art.
Especially interesting were the exhibits of transportation from horse-drawn
wagons and sleighs to a magnificent private rail car, the Oriental, to the
Adirondack guideboat, a cousin of the canoe.  There's also a nice bookshop.
I heartily recommend the museum to Adirondack visitors... especially on
rainy days.  

The address is The Adirondack Museum, Blue Mt. Lake, NY 12812.  Admission
for adults was $5.50 - well worth it.  The museum is open June 15 through
October 15 every day from 10 am to 6 pm.
