Roughing It<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Like Peopled Wilderness, \u201cRoughing It\u201d explores a range of ways that people have lived here, whether for a weekend or a lifetime. One of the iconic features of the Adirondacks is the \u201cGreat Camps\u201d, which were first built in the 19th century for the wealthy urban vacationers looking for a wilderness experience but with modern comforts. \u201cRoughing It\u201d features the stories of those who came to settle or escape urban plagues like tuberculosis, to carve out homesteads, find a rustic retreat or simply row a boat. The log cabin of Anne LaBastille, an author and naturalist who championed the pioneering life for women is on display.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Adirondack Tough: Working in the Wilderness<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Visitors will encounter\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Adirondackers<\/span><\/span> who work in the great outdoors and learn about the rewards and challenges they have faced, yesterday and today. The Experience, using its rich collection of artifacts related to outdoor occupations, will bring to life the stories of earning a living in the wilderness. An area dedicated to the story of mining will take visitors on an unforgettable journey exploring Adirondack underground iron mines and today\u2019s open-pit mining, which provides the world with valuable minerals for industrial and manufacturing purposes. An interactive activity of breaking up a log jam will allow visitors a first-hand experience of how treacherous a job it was to be an Adirondack lumberjack in the late 19th century. Many other outdoor, Adirondack-specific occupations will be<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>highlighted, such as maple sugaring and ice harvesting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Our Adirondack Park<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Another story that will be explored in detail for the first time will be the history of the Adirondack Park itself, featuring a giant walk-on map of the Adirondacks. People\u2019s impact on the park over time will be highlighted on the map, along with strategies pursued over time to minimize that impact. A multi-screened media experience will give voice to the many different perspectives of people who live, work, and visit here today. Forest management, water quality, and protecting the Adirondack Park today will be addressed through stories of people working in those areas. Before leaving, every visitor will have the opportunity to share a favorite Adirondack memory or story, and add\u00a0<\/span><\/span>it to those of other visitors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
