The Exchange, «A Purely Adirondack Emporium,» is a recent addition to North Creek, having opened only a few months ago. Their focus is on items produced locally or in the Adirondacks. Upstairs you can find paintings for sale by regional artists. Downstairs you can find a wide variety of items, anywhere from bowls made out of polished rocks to local music, housewares and specialty foods. I found some interesting candles produced by Adirondack Chandler of South Glens Falls in scents I’ve not frequently seen, such as maple, and also some specialty vinegars and chutneys(e.g., Elderberry Vinegar). The owner is extremely personable. We had a great time chatting with her as well as going home with a few items from her shop.
