Franklin County, New York

Franklin County sits at the top of New York state, bordering Canada. It’s a place where Adirondack wilderness meets small-town America. Saranac Lake was once a haven for tuberculosis patients. Now, it’s a thriving arts community.
The county has deep roots in Native American history. You can explore this at the Six Nations Indian Museum in Onchiota. Tupper Lake is home to The Wild Center, a natural history museum that’s a must-visit for families.
The area is a snowmobiler’s dream in winter. Visitors come to the St. Regis Canoe Area for its pristine waters. The county has a rich history of logging and paper production. Adirondack occupies the southern region. But it’s Malone, the county seat, in the north.
