52 Main Street, LL
Hours: Saturday 1 - 4PM, July and August 11 am - 2PM Also open by appointment. Admission: Donations accepted
The museum is a 1880's Victorian home furnished in the style of the day. Historical arifacts and a permanent exhibit room in the Museum tell about the Hadely-Luzerne area's history in the Southern Adirondacks- farming, logging, grand hotels, manufacturing, dude ranches, and summer camps. The home was donated by Frances Garnar Kinnear to the Hadley-Luzerne Historical Society in 1982. She was born in 1900 and was the daughter of Anne (Garnar) and William Kinnear and the granddaughter of one of the Garnar Leatherworks tannery owners. She was an ambulance driver during WW II's Battle of the Bulge and a graduate of Wellesley College. A life-long resident of Lake Luzerne, she returned here to teach physical education. In 1923 she and another Wellesley College graduate Dorothy Baldwin founded Pine Log Camp for girls on Second Lake. The camp flourished for many years before the two leaders retired in 1959. Ms. Kinnear also endowed a scholarship at the Hadley-Luzerne High School for a student interested in local history.
Displays at the Museum feature the Wayside Inn Hotel (there's a register signed by such famous people of the day as Ulysses S. Grant and Sarah Bernhart!), and celebrated Adirondack guide Ira Gray. Rooms are furnished in period style. An upstairs exhibit -- the Adirondack Room -- focuses on the history of local commerce, logging industry, early farming and tourism.
Museum can also be open by appointment by calling 518/696-4520 or email: kinnearmuseum@gmail.com
