The Clinton County Historical
Association has recently moved to the Four Chimneys building at 98
Ohio Avenue on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base. The county
exhibit interprets the area's history from the earliest recorded times
(1600) to the present day through its collections of paintings, maps,
furniture and decorative arts. The decisive Battle of Plattsburgh in
1814 was the culminating event in a century of naval warfare on Lake
Champlain among the French, British and the fledgling American nation.
Underwater archeological discoveries highlight this period. The period
of settlement after the Revolutionary War is explored.
Special exhibits are regularly presented on North Country themes,
including iron mining and other 19th-century industries. Collections
feature Redford Glass, Staffordshire china, portraiture, photographs and
textiles.
