The St. Lawrence County Historical Association (SLCHA)[2] is a non-profit organization, notable for owning and operating the Silas Wright Museum.[3][4] It preserves the history of St. Lawrence County.

History

The Association was first founded in 1947, and was chartered in 1955. In 1965, the Association's archives began being stored in a Baptist church in Richville. The Silas Wright Museum was opened in 1978 and the archives were moved there. The Association was accredited by the American Alliance of Museums in 1982.[5]
