Description
Economics, Industry, and Ecology: How the Grasse River Shaped Canton's Past and Present
Led by the St. Lawrence County Center for History & Culture and Grasse River Heritage
Learn how the factories and mills that once relied on the Grasse River’s power led to significant changes in the local landscape that are still present today. Experience some of the remediation projects Grasse River Heritage has done to try to mitigate the environmental impacts of over 200 years of human activity on Falls Island.
This walking tour is relatively easy and will cover Heritage Park Trail as well as some additional neighboring streets. Participants will meet hosts Carlene Bermann and Dan French at Heritage Park Trailhead at 4:00 PM.
