Smithville Historical Remains NEW

This town is an explorer's delight, because so much of its past still remains. We will examine some very old foundations and try to imagine what they were. The old trotting park and its amazing cluster of different structures will be explored. Abutments from an old dam and the relics of its mill house will be viewed. We will walk past some mysterious stone piles long the Finger Lakes Trail. Of course, we will pay our respects in old cemeteries. The historic ruins of the famous Tarbell farm will be included.

We will meet at BOCES. 25 student maximum. 4 hours. $15

Instructors: Don Windsor, Robert J. Smith, and Phil Clement.

April 7, 2001 Saturday, 8 AM - noon or later.


Afton Historical Remains NEW

This course starts in the Village of Afton at the Historical Museum and ends up deep in the woods. Our tour includes historic sites in the Village of Afton. Aftweard, we will venture into the Melondy State Forest to hike to a remote site which contains house and barn foundations and mysterious stone piles. As is our custom, we will end up in an old cemetery. Warning: This hike is 2 miles in, uphill, and 2 miles out.
