The Adirondack Experience, the museum on Blue Mountain Lake, presents another compelling installment in their virtual series, In the Adirondack Library. The event takes place over Zoom on March 11, making it available to anyone in or outside the Blue Line to attend.
The topic of The ADKX’s next program is the legendary Seneca Ray Stoddard — an American landscape photographer known for his photographs of New York's Adirondack Mountains. He was also a naturalist, a writer, a poet, an artist, and a cartographer. His writings and photographs were instrumental in popularizing the Adirondacks.
Dr. Daniel Way, a native of Glens Falls, will lead the discussion. He is the author of “Seneca Ray Stoddard- An Intimate Portrait of an Adirondack Legend.” Stoddard is also Dr. Way’s great-great-uncle.
The biography of Seneca Ray Stoddard is the story of a remarkable American from upstate New York who emerged from humble beginnings during the post-Civil War era to become a renowned artist, author, photographer, explorer, surveyor, cartographer, traveler, inventor and Adirondack environmentalist over a six-decade career. In so doing, he had a profound impact on the New York landscape that endures to the present day.

The relaxed fit lets you move easily, whether you're scaling Colden or savoring a fireside evening.

You’ve wandered through the misty pines at dawn, the echo of a distant loon calling across the lake. You’re not one for the ordinary—your gear, like your adventures, must be timeless. Enter the Adirondack Loon Cap.

The low profile hugs the contours of your head just right, while the D-ring closure with a self-fabric hideaway strap ensures an impeccable fit—no matter how wild the wind or how far the journey.
Protection from the sun? Naturally. But more than that, it’s about wearing something that feels like it’s always been part of your story.
