SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. (AP) — An Adirondack Mountain village that was put on the map as a cure center for tuberculosis is honoring its novel legacy.
Saranac Lake, New York, was once a mini-metropolis of medical care, but the boom ended with the rise of antibiotics.
Now, a local history group has purchased the old home and medical office of a treatment pioneer for museum space.
And developers bought his old sanitorium with plans to refurbish and reuse it.
