A New Hike, Bike, and Ski Trail
in Old Forge
There's a new trail that takes you from the village of Old Forge (trail head just behind the school) to the McCauley Mountain Ski Area. This trail is for hiking, biking and cross country skiing. It takes you along an old tow path used by downhill skiers in the 1930s & 40s, before the McCauley Mountain was established. You can see some old downhill ski equipment along your hike, like an old truck that was retrofitting with a shive to tow skier up the hill so they could ski back into town. Die-hard skier would hike beyond the tow hill to McCauley, carrying their skis on their backs.

When the historic, First Presbyterian Church was nearly destroyed by fire in the 1970s an important part of the history of Whitesboro was at risk of dissappering. Fortunately the four brick walls remained standing and the church was rebuilt. This church and its congregation was built and grew during the anti-slavery movement in Central New York.
First Presbyterian Church

Students protected fugitives, distributed anti-slavery literature, organized political debates, helped print the abolitionist newspaper The Friend of Man, and traveled across Oneida County to start more anti-slavery societies.
