The Robert Louis Stevenson Cottage Museum in Saranac Lake, New York was the residence of the famous author of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island, and many other enduring works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The Scottish author lived here from October 1887 to April 1888. Carefully preserved with a large collection of Stevenson’s personal belongings and related material, the cottage museum is owned and operated by the Stevenson Society of America and has been open to the public since 1915, making it the world's first site dedicated to Stevenson.
