Ontario County Historical Society new exhibit! 19th Century Transportation in Ontario County “How do we get there from here?”

This ago-old question motivated people in New York to develop and utilize transportation systems from footpaths, rivers and roads, to canals and railroads. In the 1800s, these systems moved settlers and travelers, raw materials, agricultural and manufactured products from farms and villages to cities across the region and country. Transportation links helped create regional economies, and impacted land use and development. In this exhibit we will look at how modes of transportation contributed to the development of the Ontario County region from 1750 to 1900. These early modes of transportation shaped the settlement patterns in our county that are still with us today. The exhibit will present images and artifacts of the steam boats, canal boats, horse drawn carriages, early bicycles, and the origins of rail transportation in the county. Several Programs related to the exhibit are planned. Details of these programs are on the calendar at the museum’s web site www.ochs.org. There is something for every member of the family to enjoy including a local history book shop, a genealogical research library and a great information table.

The Ontario County Historical Society is located at 55 North Main Street in Canandaigua. Museum Hours are Tuesday-Friday from 10:00am-4:30pm, Wednesdays until 9:00pm, Saturday 11:00am-3:00pm. Admission is free. Donations are accepted.For more information visit www.ochs.org or call 585 394-4975.

Visit Honeoye Lake Modern fisheries management at Honeoye Lake began with the placement of seasons, bag limits and size limits on gamefish. Records indicate that Honeoye was first stocked with walleye around the turn-of-the-century. Today, the co-dominant sport species are walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel with walleye the only species stocked (8.7 million fry annually) into the lake by the DEC. Honeoye is a highly regarded fishing lake. In addition to its excellent sportfish opportunities, the lake also supports an outstanding panfish fishery for bluegill, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and black crappie. Current management emphasis for the lake is to maintain a relatively high density of predator species, to control the abundant panfish and newly established alewife populations. Periodic fishery surveys are conducted to monitor fish populations. An ongoing angler diary cooperator program for sportfish provides DEC fisheries staff with useful data on population trends. Public access sites include the Honeoye Lake Public Boat Launch, located at the SE corner of the lake off East Lake Road. There is parking for 30 cars with trailers and is operated by the office of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Winter maintenance allows for ice fishing access. Sandy Bottom Beach launching is available for small trailered boats, cartops and canoes off Sandy Bottom Road, at the NW corner of the lake. Lakeside parking allows for about 6 cars. There is additional parking near the baseball diamond. Operated by the Town of Richmond. Winter maintenance allows for ice fishing access. 2015 SUMMER GUIDE • PAGE 37 Mastery and artistry at East Hill Boat Shop & Gallery Over 50 years ago, a group of artisans came together and formed the Rochester Folk Art Guild, a community of creative and intellectual people who use their natural talents and natural environment to create and share quality, finely-crafted wares.
