Historic Saranac Lake needs your help identifying the who, what, where, when and/or why of this photo. This one’s a snowy mystery. These gentlemen are likely tuberculosis patients, and this photo is part of an album kept by a patient in the early 1900s. Do you recognize the cottage behind them? Let us know by calling the museum at 518-891-4606 or emailing mail@historicsaranaclake.org. (Photo provided — Historic Saranac Lake Collection, 2024.23.2.240. Gift of Carolyn Greenberg.)

The staff of Historic Saranac Lake would like to join Dr. and Mrs. Trudeau in sharing “every good wish for the New Year” to you all! We know that 2026 will bring lots of new opportunities for learning about and sharing local history, and we’re happy to have you along for the ride. This card was sent by the Trudeaus in 1911, and features a photograph taken by William Distin. Happy New Year! (Photo provided — [Historic Saranac Lake Collection.
