Chateaugay – Herdman border crossing

The Chateaugay – Herdman border crossing is a lightly traveled port that lies between the communities of Chateaugay, New York and Hinchinbrooke, Quebec.

The US border station, along with the inspector’s residence, at this port was built in 1933 in response to an increase in alcohol smuggling from Canada into the US due to the prohibition. While this facility has since undergone some alterations, it is still a well-preserved example of buildings built in that time period. In 2014, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
