Blue garden chair with snow.
There is a little town on the edge of Lake Champlain, by the Adirondack Mountains, called Westport. The first Adirondack chairs, called Westport chairs, were named after this town. In Blue Mountain Lake, New York, the Adirondack Museum proudly preserves the Adirondack chair's interesting history. Anyone who owns or has ever visited a cottage anywhere in the northeastern United States probably already knows what an adirondack chair is. Likewise, anyone who owns or has visited a cottage in Ontario or Quebec probably already knows what a muskoka chair is. Therefore, let’s answer the second question first to avoid any further confusion. What’s the difference? In plain terms, there is no difference; they are the same design. Variations exist for sure depending on the individuality of each builder, but those variations appear under both names. There it is: only the names have been changed but not necessarily to protect the innocent. Adirondack chairs are so named because they first appeared and became abundant in and around the Adirondack cottage region of northeastern United States. Muskoka chairs also take their name from their place of origin and common habitat – the Muskoka Lakes cottage region of near-northern Ontario.
