A place this full of history needs people to tell its stories, which is why we are fortunate enough to have a rich supply of historians, songwriters, and storytellers. 

INLET'S STORYTELLER

One such famed Adirondack Storyteller is Inlet's own Mitch Lee. He grew up in the West Central Adirondacks, where he learned to love the place he came from. When Mitch was 18 years old he realized he had stories to tell, and he wanted to share them. Mitch went away to school, where he obtained his Masters in Arts Education, but then he returned to Inlet, where he started working as the Director of Parks and the Assistant Director of Tourism for the town. 

Getting Into Character 

Mitch loves telling stories while in character, such as a soldier from the American Revolution, and he makes you feel like you were there yourself. He loves to perform while he story tells, and his favorite places to do that are in the great rooms of Adirondack camps and cabins.

See It to Believe It 

There are professional recordings of his storytellings, but  the only way to hear his performances are in person. The recordings are archived at the Adirondack Experience, the Museum on Blue Mountain Lake. He does, however, have some of his stories and illustrations occasionally featured in the Weekly Adirondack Newspaper.
