When you subscribe to the Lake Placid News, you get a direct connection to the community that hosted the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games. It was no small feat. Only a village with hard-working and dedicated residents — with the persistence of saying “yes we can” when the world says “no you can’t” — could have pulled off those games.

And the Lake Placid News has been there every step of the way. Since 1905, the News has been the hometown weekly newspaper for the Olympic Region. Published every Friday, we cover the village of Lake Placid and towns of North Elba, Keene, Jay and Wilmington.

Lake Placid calls its Olympic venues “legacy sites.” We consider the Lake Placid News a “legacy newspaper.” The News was established five years after the village of Lake Placid was incorporated and the same year the Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department was established.
