Saranac Lake was once a place where people came to be healed of tuberculosis. Originally, the healing was through breathing of the fresh mountain air. Dr. Trudeau came up here and was relieved by such methods, then established a laboratory where he studied the disease. The old lab is now a museum, but the lab still conducts research. Today, Saranac Lake is primarily a recreation and tourism destination.
