The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake is expecting its four-millionth visitor this season - and the lucky entrant will receive quite a prize.
The museum has been celebrating its millionth visitors since inception in 1896. In 1976 the first one-millionth visitor came to the exhibits, followed by the two-millionth in 1987 and the three-millionth in 1998.

In honor of this substantial milestone, the special expected visitor will receive a free year-long membership and a $100 dollar gift card to the museum's store, where you can find everything Adirondack, including clothes, furniture and one-of-a kind items.

For more information, contact the museum at 352-7311.

Will you go to the museum in hopes of being number four million? What would you do with the prize? Please tell us!

We are coming up as a family to camp in Eagle Bay, and plan to visit the museum with the grandchildren.

I remember in 1987 when I was a kid visiting your museum with
my parents and my mother was the two millionth visitor. It was
a magical visit not only exciting because of my mother's luck but
because of all the history the museum brought alive with great
exhibits. One day I'd love to visit again. Thanks.

Just received this PR earlier this week. Looks like the lucky visitor was from NJ! :)
