Heart's Delight Farm Heritage Exhibit at the W.H. Miner Institute

An official Path Through History Site! The Heart`s Delight Farm Heritage Exhibit, located at the William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute in Chazy, highlights the history of the farm that industrialist William Miner and his wife Alice created during the early 20th century. The property grew from a small farmstead to a large model farm that applied scientific approaches to agriculture on a vast scale. The Exhibit not only portrays the development of Heart’s Delight Farm, but also chronicles William Miner’s youth and his career in the railroad industry. It shows innovations, such as hydroelectric power production for farm use and fields brought under cultivation by extensive use of drain tiles. The Exhibit also illustrates the extensive philanthropy of William and Alice Miner.
