May 21, 2012 An Upstate New York tradition was a featured story on last weekend's edition of 'CBS Sunday Morning.' What is the story behind Thousand Islands dressing and why is the name associated with the St. Lawrence River region?
August 18, 2011 It was on this date in 1938 that the Thousand Island Bridge in Upstate New York's Jefferson County was dedicated. The bridge opened to traffic the year before but today is the anniversary of a dedication ceremony featuring President Franklin Roosevelt, the former governor of New York State.
The international border crossing at the 1000 Islands is actually a series of bridges connecting the US mainland near Alexandria Bay to New York's Wellsley Island, Canada's Hill Island and finally the Canadian Mainland.
