Sinopsis

(Aug 21, 2017) One of the biggest geographic features of our region is the St. Lawrence River. It's a natural border, a vacation hot-spot, and a major trade route. It's also a big obstacle between us and Canada - even more so before the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge was built in the 1950s, and completed in 1960. One way to get across was the Morristown to Brockville ferry, which has history going back to the 1870s.
