SUMMARY:Stories from the Split Rock Explosion
DESCRIPTION:A nearly century-old tragedy is motivating OCC students to make a difference in their community. “We want to preserve and memorialize what happened\,” said Tara Carr (West Genesee HS\, 2017). “We want to make sure Split Rock will never be forgotten.” \nCarr is one of eleven students enrolled in “The Split Rock Disaster\,” an Honors level class examining the tragedy that occurred July 2\, 1918. What was once a former limestone quarry had been turned into a munitions factory where TNT was being manufactured for use in World War I. When a fire started at the site workers fought the blaze until they ran out of water pressure. The raging fire resulted in an explosion which was felt for miles around. Fifty-five workers were killed and 50 were injured. \nEarly in the semester students traveled to the site which is located off Split Rock Road in the Town of Onondaga. “To see what it looks like now gave us a sad feeling\,” said student Flo Downing (Cathage HS\, 2015). All that remains is a stone crusher which was built in 1903. “It was covered in graffiti\,” added student Beckii Sessions (Town of Webb HS\, 2016). “There was trash everywhere. The whole place was wrecked. There was a lot of broken glass and shotgun shells.” \n\n \n\n\nSeeing what the site had become motivated students to take action in connection with the upcoming 100-year anniversary of the tragedy. Under the leadership of Professors Laurel Saiz and Melissa Hicks\, students made a presentation to the Onondaga Town Board and are working on a series of related activities: \n\nMonday\, April 30\, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\, in Mawhinney 345 at OCC\, “Split Rock at the Center of the World\,” a presentation by Professor Laurel Saiz\nWednesday\, May 2\, two performance of “Split Rock: Stories from the 1918 Explosion\,” a play researched\, written\, and performed by OCC students and directed and edited by OHA’s Scott Peal.  Daytime performance is 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and the evening performance is at 7 p.m. in Storer Auditorium at OC.  Tickets are $5 and on sale at OHA’s Gift Gallery in downtown Syracuse.

SUMMARY:Honoring Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud
DESCRIPTION:The Skä·noñh-Great Law of Peace Center is pleased to announce a reception on Sunday\, April 29\, in which the Onondaga Nation will honor Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud for his commitment to raising awareness of our proud Haudenosaunee history and heritage. The reception will be from 5-8 p.m. at the Skä·noñh-Great Law of Peace Center in Liverpool\, N.Y. \nSince his inauguration in April 2014\, Chancellor Syverud has worked steadfastly to further enhance the University‘s long established relationship with the Haudenosaunee. Among other measures\, he initiated the University‘s policy of opening public events with an acknowledgement of the Onondaga Nation—“the indigenous people on whose ancestral lands Syracuse University now stands.” The University also flies the Haudenosaunee flag on campus and honors the Haudenosaunee Promise\, a scholarship for Native American students. The University established the scholarship program in gratitude and appreciation for the historical\, political\, and cultural legacies of the Haudenosaunee\, and to honor the bond between the University and its indigenous neighbors. \nChancellor Syverud has also been extremely supportive of the Skä·noñh-Great Law of Peace Center. The University played a major role in the development of the center and the academic collaboration that governs its mission. All proceeds from the reception will support the center’s educational programming and the restoration and stabilization of an exceptional three-panel ceramic masterwork by Mohawk artist Tammy Tarbell. \nThe reception will include heavy hors d’oeuvres and a variety of non-alcoholic drinks. The Skä·noñh-Great Law of Peace Center is located at 6680 Onondaga Lake Parkway in Liverpool. \nTickets are $100 and can be purchased below.  \nFor any questions or for sponsorship information\, please contact Nicole Abrams by email (nicole.abrams@cnyhistory.org) or by phone (315-453-6767).

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: Death or Liberty: African Americans and Revolutionary America with Author Douglas Egerton
DESCRIPTION:Join the OHA Book Club as it welcomes author and LeMoyne Professor\, Douglas Egerton\, to discuss his book\, Death or Liberty: African Americans and Revolutionary America. \nAbout the book: “In Death or Liberty\, Douglas R. Egerton offers a sweeping chronicle of African American history stretching from Britain’s 1763 victory in the Seven Years’ War to the election of slaveholder Thomas Jefferson as president in 1800. While American slavery is usually identified with the cotton plantations\, Egerton shows that on the eve of the Revolution it encompassed everything from wading in the South Carolina rice fields to carting goods around Manhattan to serving the households of Boston’s elite. More important\, he recaptures the drama of slaves\, freed blacks\, and white reformers fighting to make the young nation fulfill its republican slogans. Although this struggle often unfolded in the corridors of power\, Egerton pays special attention to what black Americans did for themselves in these decades\, and his narrative brims with compelling portraits of forgotten figures such as Quok Walker\, a Massachusetts runaway who took his master to court and thereby helped end slavery in that state; Absalom Jones\, a Delaware house slave who bought his freedom and later formed the Free African Society; and Gabriel\, a young Virginia artisan who was hanged for plotting to seize Richmond and hold James Monroe hostage. Egerton argues that the Founders lacked the courage to move decisively against slavery despite the real possibility of peaceful\, if gradual\, emancipation. Battling ouge odds\, African American activists and rebels succeeded in finding liberty–if never equality–only in northern states. Canvassing every colony and state\, as well as incorporating the wider Atlantic world\, Death or Liberty offers a lively and comprehensive account of black Americans and the Revolutionary era in America”

SUMMARY:A Sustainable World of Equality and Peace
DESCRIPTION:A Sustainable World of Equality and Peace\, a joint presentation by Freida Jacques & Sally Roesch Wagner. The speakers will explore the impact Haudenosaunee women had on the 19th century women’s rights movement. You can make a donation to this event\, which will help support future events\, exhibits\, and programs at the Center\, by clicking here. \nThis program\, which is free and open to the public\, is made possible through the support of the Humanities New York’s Public Scholars program is hosted by the Skä·noñh-Great Law of Peace Center to be held on Tuesday\, March 27th from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. \nFreida Jacques describes the world she inhabits as a Haudenosaunee woman\, a member of the six nations of the Iroquois confederacy.  The democratic governmental system\, established long before Columbus and based on peace\, provides equality for everyone with a balance of responsibilities between women and men based on a matrilineal clan system. Gratitude\, healing and use of the Good Mind constitute lessons from the Haudenosaunee Culture that provided a model for the Euro-American culture to use in creating a truly democratic\, peaceful country.  Freida also explores the original instructions that the Haudenosaunee received to develop a relationship with nature in a sustainable manner\, a model that inspired 19thcentury U.S. reformers. \nSally Roesch Wagner will explore how the woman’s rights movement took form in the territory of the Haudenosaunee where women have always lived with far greater status and authority than in the non-native world.   Based on her most recent book\, Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists\, Dr. Wagner will share her research on how Haudenosaunee women fired the revolutionary vision of early feminists by providing a model of freedom for women at a time when Euro-American women experienced few rights. \nwho lost all their rights\, even their legal existence\, when they married. Euro-American women learned from and were inspired by the equal political authority\, control of their bodies and property\, religious voice\, custody of their children\, satisfying work\, and absence of rape and domestic violence women experienced in Haudenosaunee nations.Together the women explore the impact that Haudenosaunee women\, living in absolute equality\, had on Euro-American women\, \nIf you have questions about events at the Center\, please call 315-453-6767 or 315-428-1864. \nPartial funding for this event comes from the New York State Council on the Arts.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club - Upstate Cauldron: Eccentric Spiritual Movements in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 24th\, the OHA Book Club will discuss Upstate Cauldron: Eccentric Spiritual Movements in Upstate New York. \nAbout the book (via SUNY Press) \nBronze Medalist 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the US Northeast – Best Regional Non-Fiction Category \nHONORABLE MENTION 2015 ForeWord INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award in the Religion Category \nFrom 1776 to 1914\, an amazing collection of prophets\, mediums\, sects\, cults\, utopian communities\, and spiritual leaders arose in Upstate New York. Along with the best known of these\, such as the Shakers\, Mormons\, and Spiritualists\, this book explores more than forty other spiritual leaders or groups\, some of them virtually unknown\, but all of them fascinating. The author uncovers common threads that characterize these homegrown spiritualities\, including roots in Western esoteric traditions\, liberation from the psychological pressures of dogmatic Christianity\, a preoccupation with sex\, and involvement in the radical reform movements of the day. In addition to maps and photographs of surviving buildings and monuments\, the book also features a gazetteer of sites listing 150 locations connected to these groups\, which may be used as a helpful travel guide to the region. \n“Godwin’s conversational style and his attention to narrative detail make Upstate Cauldron a book that would be appreciated by academic and non-academic audiences alike. As a survey text\, this book is invaluable\, pointing to areas that are currently under-researched in the field\, offering suggestions for further study. But any reader interested in the history of upstate New York would come away with an enriched appreciation for the region’s history and culture.” — Nova Religio

SUMMARY:OHA Announces Follow-up to World War I  Reading and Discussion Program
DESCRIPTION:The Onondaga Historical Association (OHA) is pleased to offer a second installment of “Our World Remade: World War I\,” a reading and discussion series developed and sponsored by Humanities New York. “With its thematic focus\, this reading and discussion program offers an unusual twist on the standard book group format by making time for thinking deeply about one idea\, over time\, from a variety of perspectives\,” says Sara Ogger\, executive director of Humanities New York. Something special happens when we talk about what we read with others in our community. Humanities New York’s Adult Reading & Discussion programs are designed to foster active reading and thinking\, incorporating texts that serve as catalysts for civic engagement\, cultural understanding\, and personal reflection. Adult Reading & Discussion programs are held in communities across New York State.\n\nAt the Onondaga Historical Museum\, located at 321 Montgomery Street in downtown Syracuse\, participants will come together over the course of four (4) sessions to discuss a variety of thematically linked texts with Robert J. Searing\, Curator of history for OHA Participants in “Our World Remade” will explore the complexities of  World War I\, and how  in the years that followed\, survivors\, authors\, and historians struggled to come to terms with the carnage\, the terrors of the battlefield\, and the sociological and political upheaval caused by the conflict. World War I marked a turning point in warfare and weaponry\, from the months-long battles like Verdun and the destruction wrought by new technologies\, to the dehumanizing effects of the war on civilians and especially the soldiers at the front. \n*** \nThe centennial of the United States entering World War I in 1917 has created a renewed interest in the “war to end all wars.” 2018 marks the centennial of the armistice on 11/11/1918.  At our museum in downtown Syracuse\, OHA has dedicated its  Murray-Sales gallery to a large exhibit highlighting the contributions of the people of Onondaga County to the war effort.  We are proud to announce that we have been awarded a grant from Humanities of New York to hold a reading and discussion group in the museum.  The dates for these 4 sessions are 2/27\, 3/20\, 4/24\, and 5/22 at 6:15 pm.  The sessions will run between 1 and 2 hours. \nLed by OHA Curator of history Robert J. Searing\, these four informal\, monthly sessions will focus on selected readings including primary sources and larger monographs that deal with various aspects of the war\, from the battlefield to the home-front and how the Great War fundamentally altered the course of warfare\, geo-politics\, and the lives of ordinary people across the world.  All of our discussion meetings will take place inside the OHA’s World War I exhibit\, which includes a wide variety of 3-D objects including uniforms and helmets and other artifacts from our collections\, in addition to an incredible array of photographs and wartime images from Syracuse. \nThe program is free and open to the public\, although pre-registration is required. For more information about the series dates and acquiring books\, please contact Robert J. Searing at (315)428-1864 ext. 319 or robert.searing@cnyhistory.org \nFor more information about “Our World Remade\,” visit www.humanitiesny.org. \n*** \nOnondaga Historical Association exists to inspire people’s understanding that the history we share as a community is the foundation for our future together.  Our purpose is to educate and encourage the exploration\, appreciation\, and utilization of the past in order to add value throughout our community and bring the great stories of Onondaga County’s history to a worldwide audience.  To do so\, we offer engaging exhibits\, publications\, products\, and programs; we pursue partnerships with other organizations; and we develop and care for definitive collections related to local history.  We are an association of heritage-related museums\, research and educational centers\, historic sites\, and retail stores in Onondaga County\, New York. \nHumanities New York is a private\, non-profit state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities\, receiving federal\, state\, city\, and private funding. It provides leadership and support across the state’s intellectual and cultural sectors through grants\, programs\, networking\, and advocacy\, in order to encourage critical thinking and cultural understanding in the public arena. \nwww.humanitiesny.org \nAny views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of either Humanities New York or the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: "The Traitor's Wife" by Allison Pataki
DESCRIPTION:On February 24th\, the OHA Book Club will discuss “The Traitor’s Wife” by Allison Pataki. \nAbout the book (via Goodreads) \nA riveting historical novel about Peggy Shippen Arnold\, the cunning wife of Benedict Arnold and mastermind behind America’s most infamous act of treason . . .\nEveryone knows Benedict Arnold–the Revolutionary War general who betrayed America and fled to the British–as history’s most notorious turncoat. Many know Arnold’s co-conspirator\, Major John Andre\, who was apprehended with Arnold’s documents in his boots and hanged at the orders of General George Washington. But few know of the integral third character in the plot: a charming young woman who not only contributed to the betrayal but orchestrated it. \nSocialite Peggy Shippen is half Benedict Arnold’s age when she seduces the war hero during his stint as military commander of Philadelphia. Blinded by his young bride’s beauty and wit\, Arnold does not realize that she harbors a secret: loyalty to the British. Nor does he know that she hides a past romance with the handsome British spy John Andre. Peggy watches as her husband\, crippled from battle wounds and in debt from years of service to the colonies\, grows ever more disillusioned with his hero\, Washington\, and the American cause. Together with her former love and her disaffected husband\, Peggy hatches the plot to deliver West Point to the British and\, in exchange\, win fame and fortune for herself and Arnold. \nTold from the perspective of Peggy’s maid\, whose faith in the new nation inspires her to intervene in her mistress’s affairs even when it could cost her everything\, The Traitor’s Wife brings these infamous figures to life\, illuminating the sordid details and the love triangle that nearly destroyed the American fight for freedom.

SUMMARY:Syracuse: How far from Birmingham - The 1963 CORE Protests and the Racial Politics of Urban Renewal
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, February 22nd\, Curator of History Bob Searing will speak about the CORE (the Congress on Racial Equality) protests during the 1960s. \nIn the summer and fall of 1963\, the Congress on Racial Equality\, a significant national civil rights group\,  organized a series of marches to protest the city’s program of urban renewal\, which was destroying much of the 15th ward\, and disproportionately affecting the city’s black community.  CORE‘s actions and the city’s response to them mark an important and often overlooked aspect of the larger civil rights movement\, which is so often focused on the southern United States.  Segregation and racial inequality were not just a southern phenomenon.  The protests of 1963 highlight the important work done by civil rights activists in northern cities like Syracuse to combat a wide-spread system of de-facto segregation that were exacerbated by these urban renewal programs. \nThis event is free and open to the public and will last approximately 45 minutes. \n          \n\nPartial funding for the Onondaga Historical Association comes from the County of Onondaga\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, the City of Syracuse\, and the Onondaga Historical Association Board of Directors. The building of this website was made possible by the John Ben Snow Foundation.

SUMMARY:Ben Walsh to Sign Mayor's Autograph Book
DESCRIPTION:On February 21s\, 2018\, Ben Walsh will become the 52nd Mayor of Syracuse to sign the “Mayor’s Autograph Book.” This book has the autograph of every Mayor of Syracuse since the first Mayor\, Harvey Baldwin\, in 1848. \nThe signing will take place at the Onondaga Historical Museum at 321 Montgomery Street in downtown Syracuse at 10 AM. The event is open to the public. \nMayor Walsh will sign the book on a mid-19th century desk used in the United States House of Representatives from Onondaga Historical Association’s (OHA) collection. Ben’s father\, James\, represented New York’s 25th congressional district from 1993 to 2008. \nWalsh has made history in his short time as Syracuse’s mayor. Ben’s grandfather\, William Francis Walsh\, was Syracuse’s mayor from 1962 to 1969\, making Ben the first descendant of a mayor to lead City Hall. Mayor Walsh is also the first minor-party candidate elected since Louis Will in 1913\, who represented the Progressive Party. \nA number of objects from OHA’s collection will be on display\, including a chair used by Syracuse’s first mayor in 1848\, Harvey Baldwin. \nThis legacy of signatures reminds us of our community’s challenges\, but also of its dreams and accomplishments. The signatures help us remember that these were real people who struggled with the serious issues of their day\, just as our present leaders have their own challenges. And\, although their names may not be familiar to the average citizen today\, their decisions have a legacy that still impacts us in the 21st century. \nOHA will also be making major announcement during the event.

SUMMARY:Native Artists Exhibit Opening featuring work by Nancy Duffy\, Ronnie-Leigh Goeman\, and Stonehorse Goeman. 
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we start the New Year off with a co-exhibition from three local artists on Wednesday\, January 3rd. Artists include the late Nancy Duffy\, Ronnie-Leigh Goeman\, and Stonehorse Goeman. \nDuffy was a former resident of Syracuse and worked at News Channel 9. She is best known as the woman who put together the largest one-day event in Syracuse\, New York – the St. Patrick’s Day Parade – which is held annually in downtown Syracuse. She created a collection of chalk and charcoal drawings that features portraits from people that belong to one of the six nations within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The portraits include\, but are not limited to\, Irving Powless Jr.\, Oren Lyons\, Audrey Shenandoah\, Alice Papineau\, Leon Shenandoah\, and Ray Elm. \nThe exhibit will also feature work by Ronnie-Leigh and Stonehorse Goeman. Although Ronnie-Leigh uses traditional Iroquois methods of basket making\, she has evolved and elevated her art to another level\, in that she collaborates and incorporates the work of Stonehorse Goeman. Stonehorse sculpts the bases for the baskets\, thus creating “basket sculpture.” Each basket is elaborately woven\, using ash\, sweet grass\, and embellished with moose hair and quill. Her baskets bring to light the subject of invasive species threatening the native tree and plant life\, thus threatening the cultural future for learning the art of basketry. \nIf you have questions about events at the Center\, please call 315-453-6767 or 315-428-1864. \n

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: The Myth of Seneca Falls\, by Lisa Tetrault
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 11th OHA is hosting its monthly book club featuring the book\, The Myth of Seneca Falls: Memory and the Women’s Suffrage Movement\, 1848-1898 (Gender and American Culture). The book will be available in OHA’s Gift Gallery Museum Store at 321 Montgomery Street.  \n“The story of how the women’s rights movement began at the Seneca Falls convention of 1848 is a cherished American myth. The standard account credits founders such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton\, Susan B. Anthony\, and Lucretia Mott with defining and then leading the campaign for women’s suffrage. In her provocative new history\, Lisa Tetrault demonstrates that Stanton\, Anthony\, and their peers gradually created and popularized this origins story during the second half of the nineteenth century in response to internal movement dynamics as well as the racial politics of memory after the Civil War. The founding mythology that coalesced in their speeches and writings–most notably Stanton and Anthony’s History of Woman Suffrage–provided younger activists with the vital resource of a usable past for the ongoing struggle\, and it helped consolidate Stanton and Anthony’s leadership against challenges from the grassroots and rival suffragists. \nAs Tetrault shows\, while this mythology has narrowed our understanding of the early efforts to champion women’s rights\, the myth of Seneca Falls itself became an influential factor in the suffrage movement. And along the way\, its authors amassed the first archive of feminism and literally invented the modern discipline of women’s history.” – University of North Carolina Press

SUMMARY:The Sacred Waters of the Haudenosaunee and the Trauma of the Erie Canal
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 21 at 1:00 PM at the Skä•noñh- Great Law of Peace Center [6680 Onondaga Lake Pkwy\, Liverpool\, NY 13088]\nFor millennia\, waterways in Haudenosaunee territories have been profoundly important.  In the Haudenosaunee cosmology\, water is sacred as fundamental to all life.  Therefore\, while waterways were used for transportation\, as food resources\, and as locations for settlement\, it was widely agreed among Indigenous peoples that they also be protected.  The Erie Canal disrupted the natural flow of water\, essentially damning watersheds so as to flow in an east-west direction.  As Laurence Hauptman has discussed in Conspiracy of Interests: Iroquois Dispossession and the Rise of New York State\, the creation of the Erie Canal corresponded with the dispossession of the Haudenosaunee.  Transformation of the landscape throughout the 19th century had profound environmental effects and traumatic consequences on Haudenosaunee relationships to their lands. \nJake Edwards is a citizen on the Onondaga Nation and sits on the Council of Chiefs.  He has extensive knowledge of Haudenosaunee environmental history and often speaks throughout the world on Haudenosaunee values. A sovereign nation on 7\,300 acres south of Syracuse\, Onondaga is a proud member of the Haudenosaunee (“People of the Long House”)\, an alliance of six Native American nations sometimes referred to as the Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations.  Other members include the Mohawk\, Oneida\, Cayuga\, Seneca\, and Tuscarora nations. \nPhilip P. Arnold is Associate Professor and Chair of Religion Department at Syracuse University as well as core faculty in Native American and Indigenous Studies.  He is the Founding Director of the Skä·noñh—Great Law of Peace Center (www.skanonhcenter.org/).  His books are Eating Landscape: Aztec and European Occupation of Tlalocan (1999); Sacred Landscapes and Cultural Politics: Planting a Tree (2001); The Gift of Sports: Indigenous Ceremonial Dimensions of the Games We Love (2012) and Urgency of Indigenous Religions (University of New Mexico Press\, forthcoming).  He is a founding member of Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation (NOON)\,(www.peacecouncil.net/NOON/index.html) and established the Doctrine of Discovery Study Group (www.doctrineofdiscovery.org) He is also the President of the Indigenous Values Initiative(www.indigenousvalues.org).

SUMMARY:OHA Book Club: Women in the World of Frederick Douglass
DESCRIPTION:This month’s OHA Book Club will feature a discussion with author Leigh Fought\, Associate Professor of History at Le Moyne College\, about her book\, Women in the World of Frederick Douglass. Douglas Egerton\, author of\, Thunder at the Gates: The Black Civil War Regiments That Redeemed America\, will also be discussing and signing his book.  \nAbout the book (via Amazon): “In Women in the World of Frederick Douglass\, Leigh Fought illuminates the life of the famed abolitionist off the public stage. She begins with the women he knew during his life as a slave: his mother\, from whom he was separated; his grandmother\, who raised him; his slave mistresses\, including the one who taught him how to read; and his first wife\, Anna Murray\, a free woman who helped him escape to freedom and managed the household that allowed him to build his career. Fought examines Douglass’s varied relationships with white women-including Maria Weston Chapman\, Julia Griffiths\, Elizabeth Cady Stanton\, and Ottilie Assing–who were crucial to the success of his newspapers\, were active in the antislavery and women’s movements\, and promoted his work nationally and internationally. She also considers Douglass’s relationship with his daughter Rosetta\, who symbolized her parents’ middle class prominence but was caught navigating between their public and private worlds. Late in life\, Douglass remarried to a white woman\, Helen Pitts\, who preserved his papers\, home\, and legacy for history.” \n \nAbout the book (via Amazon) : In Thunder at the Gates\, Douglas Egerton chronicles the formation and battlefield triumphs of the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Infantry and the 5th Massachusetts Cavalry-regiments led by whites but composed of black men born free or into slavery. He argues that the most important battles of all were won on the field of public opinion\, for in fighting with distinction the regiments realized the long-derided idea of full and equal citizenship for blacks. \nTheir books are available at the Onondaga Historical Association’s Gift Gallery museum store.

SUMMARY:Tuesdays on the Towpath: Onondaga Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, September 19th as OHA hosts Tuesdays on the Towpath and explore Onondaga Lake’s history. \nThis is a free recreational guided bike ride for riders from 8-80 years old. \nWe will meet at the Griffin Visitor Center (106 Lake Drive\, Liverpool 13088) at 6:00 pm. All rides start and end in the same location and finish by dark. Helmets are required. Call Jon Zella (428-1864 extension 315) for more information. \nRides are free and open to the public. \n\nMore about Tuesday’s on the Towpath \nTuesday is the day to be out on the Erie Canalway Trail in the Albany and Syracuse areas\, with organized group rides in both areas providing fun introductions to social cycling. \nAcross the Canalway Trail System\, local cyclists and cycling groups use the trail for outings of varied length and intensity. Some cyclists are just out to enjoy the view\, while others are looking to burn calories or train for an event such as a century ride or self-supported bike tour. Whatever your style\, there’s plenty of room for whatever type of cycling you’d like to do on the Erie Canalway Trail – with nearly 300 miles of off-road route and a variety of trail surfaces. \nThe Tuesday events are guided rides\, generally on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. They use either the Old Erie Canal State Park section of the Erie Canalway Trail (ECT)\, on roads that follow the route of the Old Erie Canal through downtown Syracuse and the Inner Harbor\,  or on trails connected to the ECT including the Oneida Rail Trail. Most rides are between 8 and 10 miles\, with stops along the way to talk about Canal features or historic sites. The Tuesday rides attract recreational riders of all ages and abilities\, and on all types of bikes. When possible\, local museums keep special hours for rides. After the rides\, the group heads to local establishments to “test” the local food and craft beverages. \nAccording to CLCBM Executive Director Chris O’Neill\, the ride series has been a great success. She points to two main reasons: it serves the recreational rider\, an under-served market\, and provides a fun link between local cultural heritage\, outdoor recreation\, and area bike shops. Over the years\, Tuesdays on the Towpath has drawn support from Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor\, Parks & Trails New York\, Syracuse Bicycles Shop\, and Mello Velo Bike Shop. An ongoing partnership with the Erie Canal Museum provides historical credibility. Beginning in 2014\, rides became a partnership with Old Erie Canal Community Working Group (OECCWG)\, with communities and organizations alternating as hosts and guides for the weekly rides.
