Patriot tree display in Colton

St. Lawrence County residents interested in learning about Revolutionary War ancestors can view the Nihanawate Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution's "Patree-ot" display at the Colton Historical Society. The display is open Saturdays from 1 to 3 p.m. and features a red, white and blue artificial pine tree decorated with ornaments representing Revolutionary War patriots identified through the genealogical research of chapter members. The ornaments were designed and created by Colton resident Mary Lalumiere. The chapter, which has more than 50 members, includes several members who trace their lineage to multiple Revolutionary War patriots. More information about the Nihanawate Chapter is available on its Facebook page, Nihanawate Chapter, NSDAR, or by emailing regentnihanawate@gmail.com.
