Review:
Housed in a charming building built in 1866, the Cornwall Brothers Museum is notable not just for its preservation of history, but for being a notable part of history itself. It stands as the last remaining historic waterfront structure in Alexandria Bay and has a long history of use over the years from being a customs house, a Coast Guard station, and even a post office.
Today, the museum retains the interior it held from its time as the Cornwall Brothers Store and showcases exhibits about life in the Alexandria Township from its foundation up until the 1950s. Through the efforts of the Alexandria Township Historical Society, it was recognized on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1975, and, in 1991, the New York Register of Historic Places.
