North Country Matters presents: Restoring the Silas Wright House Garden

Posted

POTSDAM – North Country Matters host Donna Seymour spoke with Carlene Bermann, Executive Director of the St. Lawrence County Center for History & Culture, about restoring the gardens at the historic Silas Wright House in Canton. 

Built in 1833–34 as a two-room cabin, the East Main Street property has expanded over the years and now serves as the History Center. 

Bermann described the careful planning process, plant collection, and volunteer work that have gone into reestablishing period gardens on the site, along with future plans for expansion. (Recorded Sept. 26, 2025)
