Salt Springs Historical Trail Walk
Advertisement
Who was the first Black teacher in Syracuse, who taught at this Salt Springs Rd school? What Salt Springs homes were designed by famed architect Ward Wellington Ward? How did the land we live on go from the Onondaga Nation to a Revolutionary War soldier, to a land speculator, to farmers named Kinne, Croly, Ball, and Gifford? Who was the farmer who lived in the 1840 farmhouse and paid the taxes on Wyborn Cemetery for decades? Who was buried in Wyborn? What were the origins of Elmcrest Children's Center? Who designed the stain glass windows in the former Our Lady of Solace Church?
Learn this and more in the inaugural walk of the new Salt Springs Historical and Cultural Trail. Join Dr. Sam Gruber, historian, and Dr. Michael Messina-Yauchzy, sociologist, for a thrilling first-time tour along Salt Springs Rd, a new project highlighting the stories, landmarks, and people who shaped this part of Syracuse.
No registration required.
We’ll explore early settlement patterns, neighborhood architecture, cultural history, and the threads that connect Salt Springs to the wider city. This is the beginning of a larger effort to document and celebrate our neighborhood’s heritage.
Co-sponsored by the Preservation Association of Central New York (PACNY). Thanks to President Jamilah Damiani for loan of headset listening devices for the tour.
