Campaign For the People of St Lawrence County

In February of 2019, the SLCHA Board of Trustees launched the Campaign for the People of St. Lawrence County, now a four-year, $350,000 fund drive to increase our internal endowment, ensuring our long-term financial survivability. Additional investment income will provide an ongoing reliable source of income and help to:

  • Fund new exhibits and programming,
  • Expand educational outreach activities,
  • Defray ever-increasing operating costs, and
  • Create greater awareness of this cultural treasure to drive tourism.

The SLCHA Board of Trustees and Staff are pleased to have received donations of $355,763 or 101.65% of our goal!

To Thank All who have contributed and to celebrate reaching our $350,000 Campaign Goal, we invite you to a special event on August 14, 2022 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the front lawn of the Silas Wright House, which will include an ice cream social with music provided by the Norwood Brass Firemen. During the program, Dr. Rita Goldberg’s generosity to the Campaign will be recognized with the unveiling of a plaque in her memory.

We continue to welcome and appreciate donations to the SLCHA Endowment to ensure the future of SLCHA through payments made by check (payable to SLCHA), VISA, MasterCard or Discover or by gifts of stock or bequests.
