An official Path Through History Site! The St. Lawrence County Center for History and Culture is a cultural institution and historic house museum dedicated to community engagement and preserving and promoting the rich history of St. Lawrence County, NY. SLCCHC is home to both the Silas Wright House & Museum as well as the St. Lawrence County Historical Association. Silas Wright, Jr., an attorney, politician, and the 14th Governor of New York State, was the first resident of the house, along with his wife, Clarissa Moody Wright. Now open to visitors 5 days a week, the house features period rooms dating to the 1830s and 1840s. A large addition was added to the house in 2000 that features changing exhibits, programming space and a hands-on children’s play space. The museum Gift Shop features items from St. Lawrence County, including items from local producers, children’s toys and games, t-shirts, and books on local history. The public Research Room offers access to family files, cemetery records and many other materials related to the history of St. Lawrence County.
