Saint Michael's Lancers: An Easter Tradition in Utica
For 111 years Holy Trinity Church has carried on a Holy Week tradition of guarding the tomb. The Saint Michael's Lancers march down the aisle of the church every 15 minutes to change guard from Good Friday to Easter Sunday. They are in bright red uniforms complete with helmet, gloves and sword.
Jeffrey Hardware on Bleecker St. in Utica is an East Utica landmark. Over the last century people have come here for everything from duct tape to steel doors. And for nearly that long, they have been waited on by Don Jeffrey. Mr. Jeffrey turns 90 this week, but has no plans of retiring anytime soon.

The Canastota Public Library
The Canastota Public Library on W. Center Street is on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1902, the Carnegie Fund offered $10,000 for the construction of a new facility. The Syracuse architect Archimides Russell was commissioned to design the facility, and construction was completed by William Funda and Delmonico Brothers of Syracuse. Nearly 300 people attended the opening ceremony of the new library in 1903. The library is still a center of activity. Click here to see the many activities scheduled.

Canastota Canal Town Museum
Once a bakery and residence of the 19th century, the Canastota Canal Town Museum offers a history of the "Old Erie Canal" and brings to life local folklore and history. Located beside a remnant of the original Canal, the Museum is filled with authentic memorabilia, art, and other exhibits explaining Canastota's contributions to the Canal, business, industry and agriculture.
The museum is located in one of Canastota's oldest buildings. It overlooks the remnants of the original Erie Canal
In 1982, residents of Canastota decided tohonor former welterweight and middleweightchampion of the late-1950s, Carmen Basilio,and his nephew, Billy Backus, who won theworld welterweight title in 1970. The towns-people raised funds for a showcase thatwould celebrate the achievements their two
local heroes. The success and enthusiasm for that project encouraged Canastotians to explore the possibility of establishing boxing's first hall of fame and museum. That project was completed in 1989, when two dozen former champions witnessed the ribbon cutting ceremony of the International Boxing Hall.
