Gouverneur is more than unique. There is only
one town of this name in the entire United States. Located
in the lowlands of the Adirondack region, along the banks of
the Oswegatchie River, Gouverneur is home to expanses of beautiful
farmland and crystal clear lakes.
Located within easy distance to the Adirondack
Mountain Park and the St.
Lawrence River, the area is a truly international area
of New York State. The region is a popular vacation destination
that includes the Thousand
Islands, the St.
Lawrence Seaway, and Lake Ontario.
Four nearby colleges offer education, cultural events, and
intellectual opportunities. Nearby, is Fort
Drum, home to the 10th Mountain Division. Fabulous scenery
and excellent quality of life make the Gouverneur area a great
place to visit or relocate. Gouverneur offers a thriving business
climate, excellent
hospital, and a small town atmosphere.
Our
picturesque village park is host to regular farmer's markets,
Antiques in the Park and Winterblast events. The village park
is bordered by churches, the library, museum and main street
shops. Gouverneur is also home to the Gouverneur
St. Lawrence County Fair. |
