This week we traveled north of Rome to the Town of Western. Part of the town was flooded when the Village of Delta was turned into a reservoir. The Empire Hotel that was in the village was dismantled and now serves as the Westernville Town Hall. It must have had an amazing impact on nearby communities having a neighboring village at the bottom of a lake. We met Mary Centro at the Rome Historical Society; she often gives talks about that amazing event in our local history.
Thanks for traveling with us, Sharry & Lance

The Town of Western was formed from the Town of Steuben in 1797. The fertile soil and abundant water from the Mohawk, Lansing Kill, and many other streams, made it an ideal place to settle. Soon farms, mills, shops, schools and factories developed.
The Mohawk River and many other water sources made Western ideal for settlement. Click on map

Stump Hollow performs Sunday, Nov. 4th at 6pm
We've had a few requests from viewers and have seen some interesting newspaper articles about Boody Hill. Since we were in the area (off of Carmicheal Hill Road in Frenchville, north of Westernville at 10022 Boody Hill Road) we thought we'd venture up. The owner, Robert E. Smith, has been described as eccentric. He has tends to thousands of plants, his extensive Linn tractor collection, and works to preserve the memory of one of his ancestors, Jacob Boody.
Jacob Boody was born in 1839. He was ahead of his time, believing in equal rights for all. People came from all around the world to hear him speak.
One of the remaining sculptures. Nearly 100 were carved, but they have mysteriously disappeared.
Robert E. Smith has an extensive collection of tractors, including many rare Linn's
Jacob Boody was a man ahead of his time, studying agriculture, taxidermy, history and science. He carved many sculptures on giant rocks. The subjects reflected his beliefs. He believed in women's rights and quotes he lived by included: "There will never be a true American nation until liberty and equality are accorded to everyone in the land." and "Women are the foundation of the world." People came from every state and around the world to visit his museum and hear him speak.

Autumn hikes are great. Not only are there no flies, but you can get a better sense of the topography of the landscape because the leaves have fallen. The days may be shorter, but you can enjoy sunny days without the canopy of the leaves. You can hike to Fly Pond by parking at the trailhead for Bald Mt. on Rondaxe Road between Old Forge and Eagle Bay. Sign in at Bald Mt. trailhead and then cross the road for the Fly Pond trail. Along the trail, see if you can find the train bed of the old Raquette Lake Railway.
