The Adirondack History Center Museum is located in a neoclassical style, former high school building located in the center of Elizabethtown, New York. The Adirondack History Center displays and interprets more than 6,000 artifacts, documents and art representing two centuries of Essex County life. The stucco structure built in 1915 contains exhibition space on three levels. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, special programs and exhibits are offered including lectures, performances, workshops, tours and traveling exhibits. The museum grounds include a formal, landscaped garden, an Adirondack lean-to, a sugar house, a fire tower, and an Adirondack style open-air farmers' market pavilion. The operation of the Adirondack History Center Museum is the principal activity of the Essex County Historical Society. The Essex County Historical Society is dedicated to interpreting Essex County history in a manner that inspires reflection, scholarship and comprehension of the land and endeavors of the inhabitants of the Adirondack/Champlain region. Our richest assets are the combination of documents, artifacts and art that with interpretation tell engaging and enjoyable stories that strive to be an authentic presentation of the human face of the Adirondacks.
