Albany International Airport’s Art & Culture presents Guidebook to Lake George. This art exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Chapman Historical Museum and the Lake George Association documenting leisure activities during the late 1900s and concerns of the lake as it is today..

Guidebook to Lake George features the historic photographs by Seneca Ray Stoddard (1843-1917) and recent paintings by Albany artist Nadia Rymanowski. “The best landscapes make you want to return.  Lake George inspires this sentiment in me – – – the sky and the light, the horizon and the great passage of clouds take hold of you,” said Ms. Rymanowski who has been painting landscapes of Lake George for almost a decade.
