Essex County Historical Society is an organization dedicated to the ever-evolving interpretation of Adirondack history so as to inspire reflection, scholarship and comprehension of the land and its inhabitants. We strive to serve as an authentic presentation of the human face of the Adirondacks through our diverse collections, exhibits, and education outreach programs. ECHS holds a diverse collection of over 6,000 artifacts, including a restored 1897 Kellogg Stagecoach, an early-20th century climbable fire tower retrieved from atop an Adirondack peak, an extensive Arto Monaco toy collection, a High Peaks History collection, and archeological remains from 18th-century forts at Crown Point. The research library and archives contain a vast collection of books, pamphlets, maps, newspapers, photographs, ledgers, manuscripts, and Adirondackana. The Adirondack History Museum displays and interprets artifacts, archives, and art in eight permanent exhibition areas and presents at least one new seasonal exhibit and a gallery art show each year.
