This is another history book I picked up on my trip to Syracuse, NY. My great-great-grandparents didn't live in Baldwinsville itself, but farmed in one of the outlying hamlets. It's a nice little glimpse on places they might have seen and how they might have lived.

This book is one of the many volumes of local history published by Arcadia Publishing. (My wife calls them "the sepia books".) It's a collection of photos of the city of Syracuse, NY from the Onondaga Historical Association's collection. I picked it up earlier this month as I too a trip to visit my ancestral lands. I don't know how many of these buildings and places my multi-great grandparents actually saw in their life, but it's fun to peruse and imagine.
