Description
The Massena Observer wrote in 1938 that the federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) helped to develop an athletic field at the old New York State Agricultural School in Canton, New York. The student body helped to spearhead the project by obtaining funds for the cost of materials.
The institution now partly comprises SUNY Canton.
