The VIC

In this video we're going to slow things down a little bit and show off the beautiful Visitor Interpretive Center (otherwise known as the VIC) located near Paul Smith's College in the Adirondacks.

This video was taken while we were still up in the Adirondack Mountains, and because of all the exciting things going on, I decided to postpone its showing for a while.

The VIC has much to offer in the way of beautiful trails, relaxing scenery, and the Interpretive Center itself. The Center is a beautifully constructed building, taking its design after the famed camps of the Adirondacks, which were owned and inhabited in summertime by some of the wealthiest people in America and indeed the world at one time or another. The building has a high ceiling, reminiscent of a Grand Room one finds in many of those old houses.

The Center often has educational projects going on, with a room there that tells the history of the Adirondacks, a cinema room for educational videos about the Adirondacks, and other seasonal tables showing some pelts, skulls, feathers and other relics of some of the species that inhabit the land in the area. The VIC is open year round. If you are in the area, you aught to check it out.
