The regional aviation infrastructure is prominent at the Adirondack Airport, while educational history is represented by the campus of Paul Smiths College near Paul Smiths Easy Street.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including Mountain View Cemetery, St Pauls Cem, and Brookside Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and an Old Grade reflects the transition from timber and rail industries to the conservation and recreation focus of the Adirondack Park. High points like Meenahga Mtn Lookout Tower and Big Haystack Mtn overlook a complex network of ponds and mountains, providing a clear picture of the region's geography at the end of the 20th century.
