locally developed, 1] one in the Town of Orleans, Jefferson County, and
the 2] other in the Town of Hammond, St. Lawrence County. This page is

HAMMOND HISTORICAL MUSEUM
2] The Hammond Museum is located on Route 37 in the
Village of Hammond, and is run by the R T Elethorp Historical
Society. Hammond recently celebrated 175 years by dedicating an
historic barn that had been relocated from a local farm. The barn,
believed to have been built about 1850, was disassembled, moved, and then
rebuilt on a new foundation. Pictures of the reassembly are located
on this site under barn construction, and other pictures of the museum are
below. The museum has its own website with an events calendar at Hammond
Historical Museum.
