Adirondack wall art

The Adirondacks, ring by ring

In 1894, someone inked the stump of an old Adirondack spruce and pressed it to paper. We took those rings and drew them into the shape of the park.

Look closer

  1. The 1894 ink impression of a black spruce stump that the print's rings come from.

    The rings are real

    They come from a black spruce that grew here for 115 years. The wide outer rings are the years after loggers thinned the woods and let the light in.

  2. The outline of the print's bark, following the Blue Line boundary of the Adirondack Park.

    Shaped like the park

    The outline follows the Blue Line, the park's real boundary, rounded off a little so it reads like bark.

  3. Close-up of the heart of the tree, placed where Mount Marcy sits on the map.

    The heart sits on Marcy

    The center of the tree isn't in the middle. It's on Mount Marcy, the highest point in New York.

Adirondacks, Est. 1892, painted in a brush script.

Est. 1892

That's the year New York drew the Blue Line and the Adirondack Park began. Our spruce was already more than a hundred years old by then.
