“Turkey Day’ in St. Lawrence County refers not to Thanksgiving, but to the day before the holidays when farm families brought their turkeys to towns like Depeyster, Lisbon, and Heuvelton to be sold to poultry dealers. An old photo of turkeys in DePeyster before they were sold to poultry dealers. Image from the collection of Fred Rollins of Potsdam.
