Roads and Rails: Everyday Life in the Age of Horses
The museum's largest exhibit showcases transportation and community life. Not to be missed are the private railroad car, mammoth snow roller, Concord stagecoach, and the carriage that rushed Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt to a train in North Creek, New York the night President McKinley died. Sleighs, buggies, a horse-drawn hearse and many other vehicles create a sense of Adirondack life before cars. Displays about community life include the farming gallery, peddler's wagon, and a complete blacksmith shop.
The films "America's Castles: Adirondack Camps" and "Seneca Ray Stoddard: An American Original" are shown continuously throughout the day.
