Pictured is the Life Saver statue in Gouverneur. Image from the Gouverneur Museum.
CANTON -- In the early twentieth century, many of the inventions and innovations that we take for granted today were born.
The Life Saver, for example, was invented in Ohio in 1912 and then refined here in St. Lawrence County, and refrigerated boxcars were first used in the North Country.
Learn more about historic inventions on Saturday, March 12, at the Second Saturday Children's Program at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association at the Silas Wright House, 3 East Main St. at 11 a.m.
Kids will learn about and interact with smaller inventions and partake of chocolate chip cookies (developed in 1938). The program is geared at ages 4-10, and their parents or caregivers.
