Since we opened our first gallery in 1994, we have produced changing exhibits on a variety of topics ranging from model boats to log cabin quilts, from tramp art to memory painting and veterans’ oral traditions. We usually present three exhibitions in our gallery each year.

We have also produced traveling exhibitions on changing St. Lawrence River decoy traditions, regional food customs, Mohawk and Amish crafts, and more, for galleries from the Lewis County Historical Society to the Frederic Remington Art Museum and the North Country Cultural Arts Center in Plattsburgh, and schools and public libraries in several counties.
