The Open Air Museum In New York Where You Can Experience All Your Favorite Outdoor Adventures

With over 19 million people living in New York and more than a handful of regions that make up this state, it’s easy to say that all of us have our own favorite area to visit and reside in. That being said, most of us will tell you that the Adirondacks have a special and very sweet spot in our hearts. This region of New York may be your favorite place to take summer getaways or to go hiking, but how much do you actually know about the Adirondack Park’s history and past? If you’re a frequent visitor to this area and you want to learn more but have no idea where to start, begin diving into it all at one of Upstate New York’s largest museums!

Residing right along one of our favorite lakes in the park, it's almost time to head up north to the small town of Blue Mountain Lake.

Opening up for the 2019 season on May 24th, the Adirondack Experience is an open-air museum within the Adirondack Park.
