North Elba and Whiteface Mountain
The Images of America Series
By Dean S. Stansfield
 For
more than a century and a half, the town of North Elba has been one of the most visited
places in the Adirondack region. Its proximity to the beautiful High Peaks region and
Whiteface Mountain has made it a four-season vacation destination. North Elba and
Whiteface Mountain contains more than two hundred rare photographs depicting the mountain,
the village of Lake Placid, Mirror and Placid Lakes, Ray Brook, the Cascade Lakes, Pontiac
Bay, and Wilmington Notch. Accompanied by detailed narrative, these historical views
reveal the people, life, and events of the town from 1875 to 1950, among them Franklin
Delano Roosevelt attending the Whiteface Mountain Memorial Highway opening in 1935.
