My sister, brother, and I discovered this museum accidentally. For us it prompted many memories of our mother who had been a patient at Ray Brook in the 1930's. The displays and the DVD presentation captured the reality of her life during her treatment and recovery from TB.

Adirondack Carousel

A one of a kind Adirondack Attraction featuring hand carved Adirondack Animals, beautiful artwork, play center, gift shop and snacks. Old fashioned fun for all ages.

Reviewed By larryw172 - Rochester, United States

This locally-conceived and constructed carousel is truly a work of art. The idea for this lovely ride was the brainchild of Karen Loeffler, a local artist and woodcarver who wanted this for her own community. It features 24 animals that are indigenous to the Adirondacks, 18 of which are in use at any given time. The rides are open to the public for a nominal fee ($2.50/rider, with discounts given for multiple tickets). The carousel is fully-enclosed in a heated pavilion that also includes a shop and small amusement area. It is fun, and totally “Adirondacky.” It is truly worth the visit.

Blue Line Brewery

Casual Brew Pub. 90% of Menu is made from scratch. Think of this as a Wedding Rehersal place, not the formal sit down :)

Best burger in town. It is called the smashburger. You only get it one way. Great bun. Great quality meat with lots of things on it. The french fries are good too.
