There's something about the Adirondack spirit that is intimately connected with nature.
Even the shops and local goods always seem to have some relation to the astonishing natural beauty that typifies this region and draws in visitors from all over the world year after year. What keeps these people coming back, however, isn't just the natural beauty itself, but the way that all the citizens of Lake Placid seem committed to preserving it. If there's any one store that demonstrates this Adirondack quality in a straightforward and obvious way, it's Twigs. As the name suggests, Twigs is an antique store, but it's also much more than that.
Twigs is an antique store that is intimately tied into the forests that make up the Adirondack region. Citizens of Lake Placid know it as the place to go to find obscure antiques that will really shed a light on what life was like back in a simpler time, a time when people were truly connected to their environments. In today's fast paced and increasingly commoditized world, Twigs is almost like something of a time machine, encapsulating the spirit of an age gone by for visitors to stop in and sample, so that they may draw strength from the past to continue on in the present.
While some liken shopping at Twigs to a spiritual experience, others simply enjoy it for the homey atmosphere and the good deals that you can often find on antiques and locally made crafts. If you're looking for a memorable souvenir of your trip to the Adirondacks, Twigs is the one stop to make!
