Go Westport!

Originally called the Westport chair by designer Thomas Lee, the Adirondack chair dates to the year he invented it in 1903. While on vacation with his family in Westport, New York near Lake Champlain, Lee decided to create outdoor furniture to allow he and his family the chance to sit together and enjoy the outdoors. Pay homage to these famous chairs by visiting Westport!

Enjoy a Walkable Westport tour of larger-than-life Westport Chairs painted by local artists and community members! These vibrantly colored early 1900s-inspired chairs are a place to slow down, take a seat, and stay awhile! 

The 2.3-mile Westport Chair Trail loop reminds us not to rush but to move slow with the flow through our beautiful lakeside town. It’s a pedestrian-friendly attraction and an amazing photo-op too! You can tour eight Westport Chairs on foot via the digital trail map here, and you can also take a short scenic drive to the ninth chair, a “Satellite Seat” located at DaCY Meadow Farm’s Toll Gate house on Route 9N, and explore 3.5 miles of CATS hiking trails there!
