SARANAC LAKE -- A historical perspective compiled by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hagar, current residents of the Baldwin School located at 34 Pine St. from 1907 until the late 1930s, is on display in the Distin Showcase at the Saranac Lake Free Library.
The Baldwin School was founded by Ernest and Annie Leonard Baldwin. A graduate of Wellesley College, Mrs. Baldwin came to Saranac Lake with her husband, who, like his brother, Dr. Edward Baldwin, then head of Trudeau Sanatorium, had contracted tuberculosis. The school was primarily Mrs. Baldwin's project to earn income.
In addition to the Hagars' memorabilia, contributions came from former pupils, including Miss Sallie Brooks of New York, Eleanor Ridenour of Long Island, Joan Sutton of Cortland and Alice Ridenour of Saranac Lake. The exhibit will be on display until Sept. 8.
