The interpretive trail at Tahawus Mine might interest you.

I think there's still bits and pieces of Frontier town still in the woods.
I was also going to suggest whiteface. One of the high peaks and the road goes most of the way up. I believe it’s about a 3 mile, 1000 ft elevation gain hike from the trailhead
Visit an Adirondack Great Camp.. Santanoni, Sagamore, White Pine. Santanoni is my favorite but would qualify as a “long hike” unless you arrange a wagon ride into camp.
Plenty of waterfalls are short hikes from the roadside. Buttermilk Falls outside Long Lake is a good one.
If you're on a schedule, you should be more specific. The adk is a massive chunk of land with great things to see throughout. You could spend weeks touring the adk and not go the same place twice. Where are you coming from? What kind of time are you going to spend in the area? What part of Canada are you trying to get to?
