I've been threatening to return to the Adirondack Museum for years. I haven't been there since I did a cycling tour of the Adirondacks after graduation in 1981. It's a great rainy day activity and I was pleasantly surprised that our 3 year old had a great time. It doesn't hurt that they let little kids feed a pool of hungry rainbows and brookies.For me the highlight was finally seeing the Sairy Gamp — the 12 lb (!) wooden boat built by the legendary Adirondack boat builder Rushton. The Sairy and the boat in front of it — the Nessmuk — are the basic designs that Peter Hornbeck has used as his inspiration, becoming one of the Adirondacks premier boat builders:
It's fitting that Peter's most basic ten footer is also on display in the museum. See Peter's innovative designs at www.hornbeckboats.com.
