Robert Louis Stevenson Cottage

This historic cottage in Saranac Lake, New York, served as the residence of Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson from October 1887 to April 1888. During his stay, Stevenson, renowned for classics like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Treasure Island, found inspiration in the Adirondacks, famously describing it as "a mighty good place." Carefully preserved, the museum houses a large collection of Stevenson’s personal belongings and related materials. It has been open to the public since 1915, making it the world's first site dedicated to the celebrated writer. The Stevenson Society of America owns and operates the museum. The museum is typically open from July 1 to October 13, observing specific hours in the morning and afternoon and closing on Mondays. It can also be visited year-round by appointment. Located at 44 Stevenson Lane in Saranac Lake, the cottage offers a glimpse into Stevenson's life and work.
