Welcome to Lake Placid – The Town of Murals
In 1992, the Lake Placid Mural Society formed to beautify the town and tell its history. We invite you to walk through Lake Placid’s internationally known historic outdoor art gallery with over 40 beautiful larger than life murals. Some of these murals have sound, while most of them have hidden items.
You will also find 17 unique one-of-a-kind trash containers, all companion pieces to the murals, 45 bird plaques, over 27 clown cut-outs, and so much more.
The Greater Lake Placid Chamber of Commerce serves as the town’s Visitor’s Center and is home to the town’s Mural Art Gallery. Located at 18 N. Oak Avenue, this is a great place to start your tour of the murals, offering a free viewing of a 9-minute video that acquaints you with the mural program, a gallery comprised of the original paintings of the murals, and a full-color Mural Tour Book available for purchase. The Tour Book is also available at many other locations throughout the town. The Visitor Center is open Mon – Fri from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
