Historic Central New York:
Celebrating 19th Century Social Reform
Central New York State has a rich history, most especially notable for its
contribution to the social and religious reform movements of the Nineteenth
Century. Between Ohio and Massachusetts (most particularly between Rochester and
Utica, New York) lived many of the leaders of the great reform movements whose
contributions shaped the world of their time and dramatically altered the course
of global events. This site was created to promote understanding of the many
important events in the history of American Social Reform that will be
celebrated in 1997 and 1998.
