In 1978, it opened the Silas Wright Museum and Archives. Governor Wright's house, a country Greek Revival structure, is typical of much of St Lawrence County's earliest residential architecture. The Wright House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Canton Village Park Historic District.
