"Open Doors to History" is a countywide event in St. Lawrence County, NY, occurring in 2026. Organized by the St. Lawrence County Historian's Office and the Chamber of Commerce, it will take place over three Saturdays, beginning on May 2. The event provides access to historic sites, museums, and landmarks in Waddington, Ogdensburg, and Potsdam, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.
We are thrilled to share that Lilac Inn at The Joshua Waddington House will be part of the upcoming Celebration! After three years of renovations and careful historical research, we warmly invite the community to explore our beautiful historic house, which has been a cherished part of Waddington for over 222 years. Join us at 13 Main Street on May 2, from 10 AM to 3 PM, for a tour.
