On February 22, 1813, the St. Lawrence River froze solid enough to hold an army. This is the true story of River Road in Ogdensburg, NY—a street that witnessed the War of 1812, Prohibition smugglers, and the Underground Railroad.

Welcome to Street Sign Storytime with Beard Laws! Today, we leave the highway to explore the history of River Road. It wasn't built by engineers; it was carved by indigenous paths, soldiers, and bootleggers. From the British invasion of Ogdensburg to the tragic disappearance of Duff Kaia during the roaring 20s, this road has seen it all.

In this episode, we uncover:

How British troops walked across a frozen river to burn Ogdensburg.

The survival of the Parrish Mansion (Remington Art Museum).

Why the St. Lawrence River was a "Smuggler's Paradise" in the 1920s.

The road's quiet role in the Underground Railroad.
