Cazenovia (village), New York

[2] The village lies at the south end of Cazenovia Lake and is within a half hour of Syracuse.

Cazenovia was established in 1794 by John Lincklaen, a young Dutch naval officer who purchased the town under the auspices of the Holland Land Company.

[3][4] Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the Lehigh Valley Railroad Depot.

[5] This land, located off Route 13 (Rippleton Road), now belongs to the NY State Historic Trust after being bought from the previous owner, George Ledyard, upon his death.

There is a school house, mansion, farmhouse, and a landscaped garden that guests can tour throughout the year by appointment or during regular hours.

It sits at the southeastern corner of Cazenovia Lake, a 4-mile-long (6 km) water body.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the village of Cazenovia has an area of 1.89 square miles (4.90 km2), all of it recorded as land.

[1] Cazenovia Lake has its outlet at the western border of the village; the outlet flows into Chittenango Creek, which runs south to north through the center of the village, then continues northward to flow into Oneida Lake near Bridgeport.

The first library in Cazenovia was started in 1828 by John Williams, a general store owner and merchant.

The ground floor of the house served as the main library building until a modern extension was built in 1996.
