Stay tuned for more details to come about this paddle with the St. Lawrence Country Center for History and Culture (Formerly the Historical Association).

Multiple sights are being scouted, each with their own unique potential for historical discovery on local waterways.

Join outdoor enthusiast and writer William Hill as he shares the fascinating histories of hiking trails throughout Northern New York. From firetowers to former industrial centers, there are many long-abandoned or forgotten sites where remnants of railroads, mills, or entire towns or can still be seen —but only by foot. Bill will share highlights from his recent two-part book series, Hiking the Trail to Yesterday, and discuss his ongoing project to research and preserve the history of as many of these footpaths as possible, in St. Lawrence County and beyond.
