What a nice piece about us. Thank you! I would add that the trial of gangster Dutch Schultz was held here in 1935 but before the trial he spread money around (huge tips, rounds of drinks, toys to orphans, donations to local causes) and ingratiated himself with the locals so that when a jury was picked, he was found not guilty.

You were able to create an interesting, gentle snapshot of a town that was a big part of my life. You were kind to describe it as a little tired looking, worse shape than that, but I appreciated your positive slant. That’s rare in forums like this. You’re a good storyteller. I hope your channel gets some traction.
There are 2 museums in Malone, the Franklin County House of History and the Wilder Homestead (on the Stacy Road). Most of the mining (iron ore) was done up in the Dannemora and Lyon Mountain areas. The old rail road station that you said was a bank, was closed a few years ago and a local person is converting it into a conference center. Also the rail lines that served here were the Adirondack-St. Lawrence Line (mainly between Malone and Tupper Lake, which, was bought out by the NY Central Rail road not the Penn Central railroad, and another line that ran from Ogdensburg to Plattsburgh. Malone was incorporated in 1802, and Franklin county was incorporated later, after it was separated from Clinton County. Malone has a hospital, the Alice Hyde Medical Center (Formerly, the Alice Hyde Memorial Hospital) which was started in about 1911 or 1912, expanded during the 1930s-1950s, and again around 1988-1990. As of 2017, it was taken over by the University of Vermont Healthcare Network, and is now reduced down to several primary care clinics, the Reddy Cancer treatment Center, Women's Health clinic, and being brought down to a Critical Access Hospital status, what we have left is an Emergency Department (usually busy), Medical imaging, Pharmacy, Laboratory services, 25 patient beds (if their stay is going to be over 96 hours) dietary, and what was the Operating rooms is now used for things like colonoscopies and other services along that line. If you need a Specialist or Surgery or having a baby, you're traveling elsewhere (Plattsburgh, Burlington, Potsdam, Syracuse, or Albany) for those services. UVM even closed the blood bank here last year.
My only grip is that the county fair is in early August, not late August lol. Also your fact of Malone making up much of Northern Franklin County is mistaken with Chateaugay. Chateaugay is the oldest town in the county.
@MrSword-ml8vr One of the few reasons that Malone is bigger is because it's a college town. What manufacturering does it have anymore? Chateaugay has the cheese plant on Mcadam lane.

Thanks!
Orville Gibson (founder of Gibson Guitars) is also buried there. He was born/raised in Chateauguay (just East of there).
I live in Malone, and am excited to find this video. Thank you so much for doing this. I spotted my car parked at the Market Barn!

This is an extremely generous assessment of Malone.
All true
Rivers Edge Construction was Established in Malone
This is awesome, thank you RRT!

Len Gokey lives here!
With 3 state prisons in Malone many NYC residents would visit the area often
By the bus load
If you say so…. . Lots of drug arrests, no real work to be had but for the few.
Most of the kids who go to college don’t come here back only to visit.
The same could be said about most small communities across the US, though. That’s not unique to Malone.
Upstate NY is beautiful, nothing to do with 💩 🕳️ of ny city
Nice little peice.... didn't mention the prison industry or maybe didn't know lol
Definitely knew, but filming prisons felt a bit like the kind of attention I didn’t want to get there.
@RuralRoadtripper I get your approach but this is Malone ny today... the history will live on...and the small town values
