Dramatic mountain crags fall away to reveal forest-flanked lakes in the Lake Placid Region, a stretch of the Adirondacks known for the easy access it affords to year-round outdoor activities.
Creaking wagon wheels and the clatter of horseshoes break the quiet of a balmy summer day at Cooperstown's Farmers' Museum, an open-air facility that offers visitors a rare glimpse of life on a farm long before the advent of nosiy tractors and high-tech irrigation systems. It's the mid-19th-century at the Lippitt Farmstead, where you can catch harvest, sheep shearing, planting and newly born lambs depending on the time of year. Visit the changing exhibit space housed in the main barn, and explore some of the other authentic historic buildings in the associated village like tavern and printing shop as you take in the museums highlights.
