March 28, 6:30 pm, CCHA, 98 Ohio Avenue, Plattsburgh. The History of Manufacturing in Clinton County Since 1831 with Steve Frederick, VP for Institutional Advancement at Clinton Community College. Clinton County has been manufacturing important goods 30 years before the Civil War employing hundreds of people (many were our relatives). The North Country’s relationship with manufacturers from Montreal goes back over a century so the idea of Plattsburgh being Montreal’s US suburb is not new. Come learn how these early manufacturing pioneers influenced today’s industries.
