The St. Lawrence County Center for History & Culture has collaborated with the Pomeroy Foundation for a few years to install historic markers in St. Lawrence County. In 2024, we secured funding for a historic marker for Hiram Bartlett in Russell, NY at Balsam Cemetery. In 2025, we secured funding for a historic marker for the mining industry in Rossie, NY.
This ceremony commemorates the unveiling of the new Rossie Pomeroy Historic Marker celebrating New York’s early mining industry. The dedication ceremony will be followed by a walking tour of the site led by John Austin and Carlene Bermann, SLCCHC Executive Director. The tour includes the remains of the grist mill (1825), iron foundry, machine shop (1840s), iron furnace (1813), and David Parish’s land office (ca. 1812).
