Historic Central New York:
Celebrating 19th Century Social Reform
Central New York State has a rich history, most especially notable for its contribution to the social and religious
reform movements of the Nineteenth Century. Between Ohio and Massachusetts (most particularly between Rochester
and Utica, New York) lived many of the leaders of the great reform movements whose contributions shaped the world
of their time and dramatically altered the course of global events. This site was created to promote understanding
of the many important events in the history of American Social Reform that will be celebrated in 1997 and 1998.
