Here is the Heritage Area Commission’s letter about the program.
Seneca Falls Heritage Area Commission:
This Commission was re-established in 2020 as it has been in the town’s charter since the merge of the town and village. The Commission was very active when it was within the Village’s charter. Seneca Falls is one of 20 Heritage Areas in NYS and the Heritage and Tourism Center is its headquarters. Our mission is to create more attention for Seneca Falls and to celebrate its heritage.
This Program Was made possible with grant support from the Nelson B. Delavan Foundation Part A
