On Thursday, October 20, 2016, at 7:00 p.m., the Onondaga County Civil War Round Table will present a program by Pamela Vittorio on “The Erie Canal and the Civil War.”
Members from Baldwinsville, Phoenix, Fayetteville, Liverpool, DeRuyter, Clay, Oran, Tully, Oneida, Minoa, Homer, Oswego, New Hartford, Morrisville, Jamesville, Rome, Manlius, and of course, Syracuse. It is essential that we reach all of the citizens in the greater Syracuse area that might be interested in attending our evening programs covering one of the defining periods of our American history, and perhaps become members of our organization.
Ms. Vittorio teaches English Language Studies at the New School in New York City, and is a frequent contributor to the educational programs at the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in English/Theater from SUNY Geneseo and a Master’s in Middle Eastern Literature and Languages from New York University.
Several units from Onondaga and nearby counties and hundreds of local soldiers from Amber, Camillus, Oneida, Marcellus, Fabius, LaFayette, Pompey, Tully, Otisco, Cicero, Geddes, and Syracuse, as well as Auburn, Homer, Preble and Cortland all served together during the Civil War. Our Round Table covers all of Central New York, including counties that border Onondaga County.
The program and parking are free and open to the public in the Town of DeWitt Community Room, 148 Sanders Creek Pkwy in East Syracuse (Thruway Exit 35 at Carrier Circle Parkway to Kinne Street or I-481 exit 5W to Kirkville Road west, then right on Kinne).
You left a major city that was apart of the Erie Channel and that city is Rochester, New York. It’s also home to Susan B. Attorney and also this city play major in the Underground Railroad.
