Let’s celebrate the 2026 Winter Games with the Lake Placid Olympic Museum staff as they share stories from their collection and highlight the museum’s Olympic legacy.
In 1974, shortly after the 1980 Olympic Winter Games were awarded to Lake Placid, community members decided to create a collection of materials related to the Games for future use in a museum/research facility. At the end of the 1980 Olympic Winter Games, the Olympic and Winter Sports Museum, a private, not-for-profit museum, was opened at the former Austria House in Lake Placid. Today, the Lake Placid Olympic Museum celebrates and continues the legacy of its role in the Olympic Winter Games through inspiration and engagement. Staff from the museum will share stories from their collection, helping us celebrate the 2026 Winter Olympics.
