Three cheers for the team @HistoricSL, who have assembled $1.8m from a staggering 13 different gov grants (incl. $350k fr NBRC) for an expansion of the Trudeau museum. It takes a ton of perseverance by orgs to raise the funds for these projects #adk pressrepublican.com/news/his…

We’re all about #cleanwater but we also ”do” cultural heritage. The CVNHP International Summit is an annual highlight. Jim Brangan put together another outstanding program with visits to the Six Nations Iroquois Cultural Center, @HistoricSL Saranac Lab, @pscvic and @BluSeedStudio

In the first half of the 20th century, Latin Americans traveled to Saranac Lake to treat and cure their tuberculosis, bringing Latino culture with them. Read "La Curación en el Norte ('The Cure' in the North)" by Amy Catania, @HistoricSL: ow.ly/FNyk50G0JKu @NYArchivesMag

In the early 1900s, tuberculosis was a problem in Latin America. The wealthy traveled to the heart of the Adirondacks seeking a cure. Read about their time in Saranac Lake in "La Curación del Norte" by Amy Catania in our Winter 2003 back issue. @HistoricSL

Peter Crowley is one of the hardest-working journalists and editors in the Adirondacks and probably in NY. An incredible asset to the Tri-Lakes area and a real loss, but also sounds like a wonderful new chapter for him. Bravo 🎉 adirondackdailyenterprise.co…

#Archive30 ends today with the big question, #WhyArchives? They're kept for all sorts of reasons - accountability, genealogy, inspiration... We love them because they're the closest we'll ever get to time travel: the door to our stack is the portal to another world.
