Distinctive Traits and the Murals
This town is known for supplying about 96 percent of the world’s caladium bulbs. However, Lake Placid does not stop at one distinction. It is also known as the “Town of Murals.” There are 47 murals total, with most depicting a scene from Lake Placid’s history.
The murals are on the sides of buildings in the uptown area of Lake Placid. They are a popular attraction that attracts tourists. The Welcome Center sells a guide booklet that shows each mural’s location and tells the story behind the painted scenes as well as offers information about the artist(s). A couple, Harriet and Bob Porter, conceived the murals in 1992, and different artists painted them in the following years.
Some of these murals are done using an art technique called “trompe l’oeil,” which is French for “deceive the eye.” It uses photographically realistic details to create spatial and tactile illusions by making scenes and objects appear three-dimensional.
