WATERTOWN, NY (October 2, 2023) – WPBS-TV will be showcasing a free screening of their original production Discovering Jefferson County at the Lyme Heritage Center, 1848 Depot St., Chaumont on Sunday, October 8th from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Discovering Jefferson County is set inside a modern-day antique store. Rebekah, a new resident of Jefferson County, ventures into the shop to find artifacts of the area. Her search spurs conversation with Wilbur, the owner of the store, who takes her on a fascinating, historical, and powerfully visual journey to the early days of when lands full of timber, streams packed with fish, and plains vast and wide attracted landowners and businessmen, who would eventually settle various towns and villages.
This event is free and open to the public. Guests are asked to register at wpbstv.org/events.
The four-part documentary, Discovering Jefferson County, is available to purchase on DVD by visiting WPBS-TV’s website here: https://www.wpbstv.org/product/discovering-jefferson-county-2-dvd-set/
