Museums, fair association to split $20k in state funding

Posted

The St. Lawrence Power and Equipment Museum, the Hammond Fair Association and the Stone Mills Agricultural Museum will all receive shares of $20,000 in state funding, according to Assembleywoman Addie Russell, D-Theresa.

She says the two museums will each receive $5,000 and the fair association is getting $10,000.

"Each organization contributes uniquely to preserving and supporting our agriculture heritage and the strong place it continues to be in the North Country economy," Russell said.

She said the Stone Mill museum will use their funding to offset costs from a restoration project.

The Power and Equipment Museum recently renovated and relocated a 160-year-old schoolhouse from Jefferson County, Russell noted.

After celebrating 75 years, the fair association may use some of their money to make facility and ground improvements, Russell said.
