My kids went here on a school field trip. They learned about traditional Iroquois longhouse building. They came back with lots of knowledge about life in the Finger Lakes 3-400 years ago.

The bark long house was the destination for the day and we enjoyed the interpreter who was inside. Ronnie told stories and explained the history of the site. Great place to walk and take a family too.

I recommend coming during one of their events. They have a few annual festivals; food, dance, re-enactments, etc. that are all pretty well done. If you go on a random day there isn't a whole lot to see other than the Long House.

I have been to this site as a teacher with special needs students and a s an adult. Both times this Native American site for history and learning was a very good experience. Traveled here for their annual festivities in June. Good place to visit and bring visitors to the area.

I remember going here for a field trip as a kid. Literally a :field trip". This place was a field. WIth some trees. And metal displays with designs on them. Oh how we loved to pull out some paper and would rub chalk or crayons over the relief.

The grounds was one of the largest encampments of our local native Americans in upstate NY. When there is something going on in is nice to visit and learn some history.

This location has been saved as a memorial to the Iriquois who lived here prior to and during the American Revolution. Exhibits are very well done, and docents are knowledgeable and helpful.
