Walking Tour of River Street July 24
The Greater Oneonta Historical Society (GOHS) will have a walking tour of historic River Street, beginning at 7:00 PM on Thursday July 24. Longtime neighborhood residents will join GOHS executive director Bob Brzozowski in leading a nostalgic walk along one of Oneonta’s most historic streets. The tour will begin at the intersection of River and Main Streets, where the village of Milfordville that became the city of Oneonta began. Many early Oneonta families had homes or businesses near this crossroads. There is parking on River Street and in nearby Neahwa Park. From the intersection, the one to one and half hour walk moves west, near the Wilcox farm and through the 6th Ward neighborhood.
This tour is by donation. For more information, contact (607) 432-0960 or info@OneontaHistory.org.
