Tucked away in the Adirondack foothills, The Sembrich is worth a visit even if you aren't a fan of the opera. The museum is housed inside the former studio of 19th century opera star Marcella Sembrich, and it features items like Sembrich's grand piano and other personal possessions, some of her photos and letters, and costumes and other souvenirs from many of her performances.

The property sits overlooking beautiful Lake George, and it boasts a number of inviting spots perfect for a picnic lunch. Admission is by donation, and the museum is open between mid-June and mid-September.
