On the Twelfth Day of Saranac Lake-mas...

On the twelfth day of Saranac Lake-mas, your museum gave to you... the uniform of the Saranac Lake Pioneers Drum and Bugle Corps! This handsome fringed jacket comes with a matching pair of fringed trousers. In 1959, a letter to the editor of the Adirondack Daily Enterprise thanked the community for their support to purchase these uniforms. They would have been worn with a tan felt cap, too!

Does anyone have any photographs of the Corps? We've love to see this uniform in action!

Thanks to everyone for following along on our Twelve Days of Saranac Lake-mas! We've had a ton of fun sharing these snippets from our history with you. Be sure to follow along all year round to learn more about Saranac Lake history and the goings-on here at the museum!
