On September 22 North Country At Work visited Philadelphia for a photo scanning session, and thanks to individual donors and the Philadelphia Historical Society Museum, we came away with over fifty photos of work, and a real picture of the industries that built the town. Philadelphia feels a little sleepy now, but it had its heyday, and the photos prove it.<\/p>\n

Frieda Kent, lifetime resident of Philadelphia, boiled it down to this: the chair factory, the railroad (as Philadelphia was a major passenger railroad junction for lines running to Syracuse, Utica\/Rome, Clayton, and St. Lawrence County), and dairy farming and milk products (they’re fiercely protective of Philadelphia Cream Cheese!). For a look at Philadelphia’s work history, check out some photo highlights below!<\/p>\n

Our next photo scanning is on October 6 in Heuvelton<\/a> – if you’re from the surrounding area, we hope to see you there.<\/p>\n

When you were waited on you were asked if you would like one of the following sandwiches – Beef, Pork, Egg, Cheese or Western (always asked in that order).
