The history of the Adirondacks is as diverse as its geography. A
battleground through three wars, the turf of loggers and miners, the
vacation destination of Gilded Age magnates and home to two Winter
Olympic Games, the depth and breadth of the region's heritage is only
matched by its glorious scenery.

You'll find forts, museums, historic homes and "Great Camps," excursion
railroads and even sunken wrecks in the Adirondacks. Events ranging from
Woodsmen's Field Days to the No-Octane Regatta to a French and Indian
War Encampment bring history to life.
