2023 EXHIBITS
Like the opening of the Champlain Canal 200 years ago, the construction of the Northway in the late 1960s brought revolutionary change to Essex County and the Adirondack region. Millions of hikers, hunters, fishermen, and cottagers arrived from major population centers in just hours, and thousands of them stayed. The new interstate highway opened up new businesses while destroying local livelihoods as it bypassed old town centers. The Museum's 2023 Northway exhibit and programs will showcase the controversies surrounding building the superhighway, its local and regional highlights, and the long-lasting impact.
The Rosenberg Gallery will feature the extraordinary artwork of Steven Kellogg. Kellogg is the acclaimed illustrator and author of some 135 children’s storybooks, including his well-known series about Pinkerton the Great Dane and his tall tales about classic American characters like Paul Bunyan, and Johnny Appleseed. He has always loved to draw and the way that pictures can deepen and expand the text of a story — creating what he calls a "beautiful duet." The exhibit rounds up a selection of Steven Kellogg's art spanning his long and distinguished career. Feast your eyes on these visions in pencil, crayon, oil, acrylic, watercolors, colored ink, and mixed media. Enter the magical, inviting rainbow world of Steven Kellogg's imagination.
This is an addition to our Adirondack Suffragists exhibit. The display explores the new generation of independent women and the cultural shift in the decade after women won the right to vote. The Flapper was born - a “new breed” of energetic, young women who changed feminine style drastically and pushed barriers in economic, political, and sexual freedom.
FIRES IN THE HIGH PEAKS – ADIRONDACK FIRE TOWERS
In recognition of the museum fire tower turning 100 years old, this exhibit explores the history of fires in the High Peaks and the fire detection network that developed as a response. The exhibit features a climbable fire tower - a combination of two towers that were removed from their original sites (Kempshall and West Mountains) and reconstructed for visitor use.
