History of Lake Placid ❦ Bob & Harriet Porter founded the Lake Placid Mural Society placing over 150 pieces of artwork in town Placid were inventor Thomas Edison, automobile visionary Henry Ford, tire magnate Harry S. Firestone, baseball legend Babe Ruth and even the notorious gangster Al Capone. The Great Depression interrupted the growth Dewey had anticipated. But Lake Placid has managed to keep the same name for 92 years and has grown into a wonderful place for raising families, for retiring and for vacationing. While residents enjoy the benefits of small-town living, there is a lot more than you’d expect packed into about two and a half square miles. The heat of summer doesn't deter the annual Caladium Festival that showcases a unique farming industry and the reason for one of Lake Placid’s nicknames, “The Caladium Capital of the World.” Some 70-80% of the world’s caladiums are grown here from seed and their bulbs shipped to market. A highlight of the Caladium Festival is a car and motorcycle show that is rightfully billed as the largest summertime car show in the southeast. The Arts & Crafts Country Fair, staged each February, is organized and staged by an all-volunteer committee. The two-day celebration is now celebrated as a mecca for arts and crafts enthusiasts and spans uptown DeVane Park and at nearby Lake Placid Middle School. The reason for another nickname, “Town of Murals,” is evident to anyone who visits. <strong>Visitors</strong> immediately notice the beautiful and informative murals that adorn commercial buildings. The murals tell the story of historical events Caladium Fields and people of Lake Placid. The vision of Lake Placid as a "mural town" came from Bob and Harriet Porter who had seen a similar concept during a motorcycle adventure in Canada and returned home to create the Lake Placid Mural Society. From humble beginnings, the Mural Society now boasts 48 giant outdoor murals in its collection. In 2013, the town added yet another nickname ... “The Most Interesting Town in America,” according to a readers' vote conducted by Reader’s Digest magazine. Lake Placid is also home to the American Clown Museum and School, where classes account for more than 1,600 graduates taking “Smiles, Love and Laughter” back Welcome to Lake Placid ❦ 19
