Savannah, New York

Savannah is a town in the southeast portion of Wayne County, New York, United States.

Fort Hill, located on the highest land in the town, is a historic native village and was the site of a Jesuit mission in the 17th century, built by the remains of an earlier, "Owasco", village.

Like other nearby towns, Savannah was part of the Central New York Military Tract.

Settlers arrived in more modern times around 1808, but Savannah is considered to be the last town in the county that was settled.

Wiley Schoolhouse (built 1874) is a fully restored historic one-room school for the former District #11 located at the intersection of Wiley (CR 374), Hogback and Olmstead roads in the southwest part of town.

Originally a hotel and tavern, the first-ever town meeting was held there in April 1825.

The Montezuma Audubon Center, located on N.Y. Route 89 near Crusoe Lake, is a state-owned nature education facility and preserve operated under cooperative agreement between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the National Audubon Society.
