Adirondack Experience, The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake

Some amazing icicles forming on campus these days. #theADKX #WinterCampus

Saranac Lake has always celebrated their Winter Carnival with an ice palace. This postcard, postmarked Feb. 12, 1907, includes the handwritten message: "Dear Melia, I received you letter and will answer it soon. This is a picture of the ice palace - it was so pretty at night ... lighted up. Wish you could have been here for the carnival. Mary E. Tipple" #theADKX #HistoricPostcardCollection

Do you grind coffee in your home? If you do you likely use a fancy electric grinder, which, while loud, gets the job done rather quickly. Imagine instead using a grinder like this one! While a hand-crank seems rather unimpressive, this was top of the line for its time, and a necessity for those who craved a good ‘ol cup of brew.

Happy #NationalBirdDay. Here's a wooden carved bird from our collection that was made by Ed Green in the shape of a hooded merganser and was owned by Anne LaBastille. (2014.060.0240) #theADKX #AnneLaBastille

Thin ice! Be careful out there, this early in the season lakes are covered in only a thin coating of ice and snow. These poor fellows made that mistake, and are left trying to gather their supplies from a rapidly sinking boat!
