Walking on an ancient trail...

For centuries American Indians, traders, soldiers, and travelers crossed this path, where goods and ideas were exchanged. Known as the Oneida Carrying Place, this portage trail between two river systems served as a major east-west route linking the Atlantic to the Great Lakes when waterways were the lifeblood of trade. Depending on the season, boats and goods were carried over land as much as six miles between the two rivers.
