🔥45 years ago today, this Olympic Torch, now part of the NYSM History Collection, began its journey from Albany, NY, to Lake Placid for the XII Olympic Winter Games. Traveling 1,600 miles across the Adirondacks, it symbolically united the region in the Olympic spirit. Today, as the flame lights up Milan–Cortina 2026, we celebrate the journey of the Games—connecting past and present, New York and Italy, athletes and fans alike. 🏔️🔥 | New York State Museum
