A Renaissance City History. Food and drink. Local goods. The great outdoors. Physical activity. The arts. If you’re a lover of any of these, you need to experience Utica. History buffs will be in their glory, exploring the city’s vivid past. Settled during the French and Indian War as old Fort Schuyler, the Utica of yesterday is evident throughout. Ride the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. See extraordinary landmarks and original architecture. Sip on a pint of Utica Club – the nation’s first beer licensed and sold after prohibition. Craft beer connoisseurs and history-seekers alike can tour the F.X. Matt Brewing Company, the second oldest family-owned craft brewery in the nation. F.X. Matt began brewing in 1888 and is famous for its award-winning Saranac brand of beers. 4 |

Craft beverages aren’t the city’s only praiseworthy consumable. Visitors flock to Utica for its cuisine. The city’s unique character – defined by rich history, agriculture, and diversity – is reflected in hundreds of ethnic and American eateries. Farmers and artisans gather to sell produce and goods at the Oneida County Public Market. Those with a passion for physical activity and the outdoors will enjoy golf at Valley View, the Val Bialas ski area, Proctor park, and the Erie Canalway Trail. On the second Sunday in July, more than 18,500 runners from around the globe convene

for the Utica Boilermaker Road Race. The entire city celebrates with a giant post-race party at the F. X. Matt Brewery. Art aficionados can view the exceptional collections at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Museum of Art, peruse the works at Sculpture Space, or see a Broadway show at The Stanley. In September, the Utica Music & Arts Fest takes center stage with over 100 bands playing venues all over the city.

The Annual Honor America Days Celebration

Rome’s biggest day of the year is always the last Saturday in July! You’re invited on July 30 to join in on the fun. The Honor America Days Parade begins at 10am, then, later that evening, the Honor America Days Pops Concert on the west lawn at Fort Stanwix National Monument. The concert concludes with a spectacular fireworks display with cannon fire!

Battlefield State Historic Site serves as an awe-inspiring reminder of one of the Revolutionary War’s most deadly and pivotal engagements. Rome is home to Revere Copper, hence the nod and notoriety as being The Copper City and it is the final resting place of Francis Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance. Nature lovers will enjoy Delta Lake

State Park, the trails at the Rome Sand Plains, and learn how millions of trout are raised at the Rome Fish Hatchery. Fort Rickey Children’s Discovery Zoo provides an interactive experience where visitors can meet, pet, and feed a wide variety of animals. Sure to be a hit with everyone is a special exhibition of magnificent North American Gray Wolves.

Celebrate summertime fun with the annual Honor America Days festivities in July, and in August experience Canalfest at Bellamy Harbor Park – with rides, music, fireworks, and a unique 5K run & 2K kayak event. Come explore a Central New York treasure and see what the Copper City has to offer.

Whether you believe in spirits or not, after two centuries of guests at the Hulbert House in Boonville, there are a lot of stories tell. One prevalent story is about Wayne, a spirit who has been seen — and photographed — standing in a doorway outside Room 25. He appears to be a large man in a old military uniform. The Hulbert House once was a gathering spot for Civil War soldiers going off to war. Other spirits that have been studied, recorded and photographed by paranormal groups through the years include little Lucy, a child who often is heard running through the hotel. Up to recent times, residents and guests have stayed in second-floor rooms. Rooms on the third floor no longer are used for that purpose. There have been no residents on that floor of the Hulbert House since the early 1970s. Those halls and rooms still retain furniture, decor and belongings from days past.

educational experience for the young and old. Hall of Fame inductions take place the second weekend in June, and includes a parade of champions down Main Street. The Hall began as a local project in 1990, when Ed Brophy wanted to honor a pair of Mohawk Valley natives

for their boxing accomplishments. But it wasn’t long before Carmen Basilio and Billy Backus were joined by the likes of Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano, and the Hall of Fame became what we know today -- a shrine to more than 1,000 boxers and contributors.

HISTOR TORIC IC SEVENTS & AT T RACT IO N S HIS ITES

If a weekend immersed in history is your ideal getaway, Oneida County is the perfect destination. Located at the convergence of many important travel routes, an extraordinarily diverse amount of significant history happened here. In Rome, visitors can tour Fort Stanwix National Monument. Known as “the fort that never surrendered” for successfully thwarting an intense siege in 1777, Stanwix was built to protect traders during the French and Indian War and was also used during the Revolutionary War. 2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the reconstruction of the Fort on the original foundation and the Centennial Celebration of the National Park Service. Just six miles away at the Oriskany Battlefield, explore the site of one of the Revolutionary War’s most deadly battles. Considered by many to be a critical turning point in the War, hundreds of brave soldiers lost their lives in Oriskany, fighting for American independence. In Sherrill, the Oneida Community Mansion House offers an intriguing tour that lends insight into a

mysterious utopian community that endured for decades – even though marriage was not allowed. The building of the Erie Canal sparked countless cultural and commercial developments across New York State. The digging of the original canal, known as Clinton’s Ditch, began in Rome on July 4, 1817. Interested in the history of American sports? Check out the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown or the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota. Be sure to visit the Baron Von Steuben Memorial State Historic Site, see astounding bygone architecture and decorative arts at Fountain Elms, learn about the Oneida Indian Nation at Shako:wi Cultural Center, and explore a long list of historic sites just waiting to ignite your passion for the past.

ONEIDA COUNTY IS HOME TO 27 GOLF COURSES WITHIN 27 MINUTES.

With 27 courses within 27 minutes, golfers can immerse themselves in an entire vacation of course exploration. Valley View course in Utica was designed by the famous Robert Trent Jones Sr., whose design philosophy was “a golf hole should be a hard par and an easy bogey.” Rome Country Club’s beautiful course is completely irrigated (roughs, too!) and is rated four stars by Golf Digest. Turning Stone Casino Resort has five spectacular courses, three of which are PGA-level, 18-hole championship courses. Atunyote and Kaluhyat were each honored on Golf Digest’s prestigious America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses list for 20152016. Those looking for a more relaxed game will enjoy Pleasant Knolls, a player-friendly recreational course

GOLF TRAINING CENTER AT TURNING STONE RESORT, VERONA

offering 9 holes of par 36 golf. Golfers in a hurry will appreciate Sandstone Hollow. Designed by legendary course architect Rick Smith, with the busy golfer in mind, the Hollow ranks among the top 25 par 3 courses in the United States.

2016 Oneida County Travel Guide

OUTDOO RCRE RE CRE OUTDOOR RE AT IOAT N IO N

If your perfect getaway means bountiful time in the great outdoors, you won’t find a more ideal destination than Oneida County. Book a campsite, cottage, room, or house and spend your days doing all the activities you love all around the county. Explore Pixley or Trenton Falls. Bike the Erie Canalway Trail or Forest Park. Take a nature walk on the Root Glen’s garden trails or a relaxing ride on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. Enjoy mountain biking the BREIA Trail System, rent a boat or launch your own from a marina on Oneida Lake, and ride horseback at Dar Maur Manor, Whisper Wind Equestrian Center, or Adventure Horse Riding. Travelers with a passion for fishing may never want to leave. With some of the best bass, trout, walleye, panfish, and pike fisheries in the Northeast, we’re considered to be

one of the greatest American fishing spots. In the winter, shanty up and ice fish on Oneida or Delta Lake. You can also experience exceptional fly fishing on the famous West Canada Creek. Kayakers, too, have a multitude of options. Fish Creek Cabin Resorts offers thrilling guided tours of 9.4 miles of some of the finest Class III whitewater rapids in the Northeast. Paddlers seeking a more peaceful experience can book tours and enjoy more than 25 miles of calm-water kayaking. And this is really just the beginning of the outdoor possibilities Oneida County has to offer. Numerous state parks and forests, miles of trails, pristine bodies of water, and other natural treasures provide ample opportunities for just about any activity you can imagine.

THE MAIN ATTRACTION AT PIXLEY FALLS STATE PARK IS A 50 FOOT CASCADING WATERFALL. STAY FOR A HIKE ON THE MEANDERING NATURE TRAIL PAST ADDITIONAL WATERFALLS.

WINTER ADVENTUR E

If winter excites you, a trip to Oneida County is a must. Whether your intent is to dig into some outdoor activities or enjoy a peaceful weekend cozied up in a warm cabin, Oneida County will exceed your expectations. Our winters are among the finest in America. Boonville consistently ranks in the nation’s snowiest places, sometimes topping the list. With more than 500 miles (804km) of trails, it’s the perfect destination for snowmobiling and snowshoeing. The fact that twelve Snowmobile Clubs exist throughout the county speaks for the quality of the experience. A cross-country skier’s paradise, the BREIA Trails are more than 31 miles (50km) in length, making them one of the largest groomed cross country ski systems in the East. If downhill is more your style, visitors of all ages can ski – or tube – down the

slopes at Woods Valley or Val Bialas Sports Center. At the Utica Aud, cheer on the Utica Comets pro hockey team or the Utica College Hockey team. There are also many arenas available for those who wish to play hockey or skate. Interested in curling? Take a lesson, plan an event, or just watch at the Utica Curling Club. Oneida County is the place to make your winter fantasies come true. A variety of cabins, houses, bed and breakfasts, hotels, motels, and campsites are available throughout the county, so you’re sure to find something that meets your needs and desires. You may never in your life see winter scenery quite as brilliant as the Adirondack greenery frosted winter white. So plan a getaway to Oneida County and seize the season.

boilermaker.com

For sports fans we have a variety of events and activities in Oneida County. Start with a local favorite by getting rowdy and cheering on the Utica Comets AHL pro hockey or the Utica College hockey team at the Utica Aud, voted one of the 10 Coolest Hockey Rinks in the World by complex.com for its design. If college sports are your thing, you’ll be busy. We host over 20,000 students at more than a dozen area colleges. These institutions boast outstanding facilities and some of the nation’s top teams. Catch a game with the MLB stars of tomorrow, the Utica Brewers, Rome Generals, or Adirondack Trail Blazers, Collegiate Baseball Leagues. Baseball enthusiasts shouldn’t miss a visit to Cooperstown’s National Baseball Hall of Fame. The museum features nearly 40,000 items and tells the history of baseball through a three-story time line. Be inspired by the greats at the nearby International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, just off the NYS Thruway exit 34. Get ready to lace-up your sneak-

ers because Oneida County is a hot bed for running as well. Just about every weekend you can find a road race that fits your skill level, and be sure to check out uticaroadrunners. org for a full calendar of events. We all love the Utica Boilermaker Road Race 15K, but other local favorites include Rome’s Fort to Fort Race in April and the Falling Leaves Road Race in September. Utica is also the home of America’s Greatest Heart Run and Walk, which is the best of its kind by far. Each year the community raises over $1 million for the American Heart Association.

GET AWAY TO Gather A Fresh & Beautiful Gathering Place ERIE CANAL CRUISE

There are four main reasons people choose to host events in Oneida County. The first is our conveniently accessible location. Utica, Rome, Verona, and Sylvan Beach are just off NYS Thruway I-90 Exits 31 through 34 and we’re only minutes from Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport. The second reason? Our natural beauty. Imagine hills, valleys, forests, and lakes as the backdrop for your event.

Third reason is our food. Rich local farming, strong traditions, and ethnic diversity converge in Oneida County to produce memorably delicious fare. Fourth reason is that event planners are attracted to the quality and variety of our venues. Corporate Events & Conventions We’re home to many impressive state-of-the-art facilities that can host any number of guests and more than 3,000 rooms are available throughout the county. With 27 golf courses within 27 minutes, planning the perfect golf outing is a breeze. Hosting a large convention? Look into Turning Stone Resort Casino, Vernon Downs Casino Hotel, Radisson Hotel, Hotel Utica, or the Holiday Inn. Planning a more intimate gathering? Try a small, unique venue like the Oneida Community Mansion or the F.X. Matt Brewery. Weddings Oneida County offers an unforgettable array of possibilities from large

fairy tale receptions in the ballrooms at Vernon Downs, to swanky affairs at the Shenandoah Clubhouse and The Beeches. Rustic but elegant barn weddings at the Hayloft on the Arch in Vernon Center or the historic Union Chapel, built in 1887 in Sylvan Beach are just some of the possibilities. Group Trips & Bus Tours If you’re planning a trip to entertain a large group, you can’t go wrong with: a trip on Erie Canal Cruises’ doubledecker Lil Diamond III, a visit to the Munson-Williams-Proctor Museum of Art, a Saranac Brewery tour, or ranger-guided exploration of Fort Stanwix National Monument.

Eleven farmers’ markets offer visitors access to the freshest foods the county has to offer. Not sure where to start? Try the nationally recognized Oneida County Public Market in Utica or the old-fashioned Clinton Farmers’ Market on the village green. For a map of farmers’ markets, visit the Cornell Cooperative Extension website. To learn about locally grown and produced products, visit CNYFresh.com. The entire county is loaded with farm stands that can be easily found just by jumping in the car. In the fall, visit one of many pumpkin patches, pick apples at North Star Orchards, or savor a just-pressed cup of cider at the Clinton Cider Mill. Enjoy dairy tours of Mercer’s, Sunnyview, the Finndale, or Full Circle Farms. Celebrate your fresh finds with a locally made beverage. Adirondack Distillery uses environmentally

friendly processes and local ingredients to create high-quality vodka, bourbon, and gin. F.X. Matt Brewing Company produces the award-winning Saranac lineup of craft beers and soft drinks. Nail Creek Pub and Brewery offers selective releases of house-brewed beers. Check out BrewCentralNY.com to learn more about our locally produced beers, wine, and spirits. Visit Oneida County to gather up the season’s bounty and prepare something amazingly fresh, healthy, and delicious for your family. Don’t feel like cooking? Unwind and enjoy a meal at one of the area’s exceptional farm-to-table restaurants like The Tailor & the Cook in Utica’s Bagg’s Square, Nola’s in the village of Clinton, or Piggy Pat’s BBQ in New Hartford.

Dear Traveler, On behalf of the Mohawk Valley Association of Realtors, I’d like to personally thank you for visiting our great area. We sincerely hope that your time here in Oneida County was everything you expected, and much more. The Mohawk Valley is the cradle of many things, but for those of us who live, work and play here, it’s our home. And like all good neighbors, we’d like to share our home with you. If your visit here left you wanting a more permanent Mohawk Valley experience, one where your daily life is rarely routine, we’re here to help. The Oneida County region delivers four full seasons of outdoor living, theater and entertainment, night life and activities. We are close to everything our great state has to offer, and many of New York State’s greatest attractions are either in our backyard, or a day trip away. There’s camping, fishing and boating in the summer. When the snow flies, we have hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails to explore, as well as access to the best skiing in the Northeast. In the spring and fall, you’ll enjoy some of the most magnificent foliage in the nation. Are you a foodie? Our dining is second to none, with more family-owned specialty restaurants than franchised eateries. Commuting in the area is a snap – no matter where you are, you’re close to where you need to be. Our area is welcoming to people from around the world, or around the corner. No matter where you’re from, you’ll feel like you’re a native in no time. Oneida County offers some of the most affordable real estate in the northeast, and housing options range from modest starter homes to grand Adirondack lodges, with every possible option in between. We have homes dating back to pre-Revolutionary War times, and we have new construction – whatever your style, we can make it happen. If you loved your visit, and you’d like to make Oneida County your permanent place of residence, call a Realtor. Our team of professionals across the Mohawk Valley Association of Realtors will welcome you home. All of my best,

Ed Jekel ExecutiveOfficer Mohawk Valley Association of REALTORS®
