Ganondagan State Historic Site is the site of a large 17th Century Seneca Town. At its height there were more than 150 bark buildings in the main village housing an estimated 4,500 people.
Located in Victor, in Ontario County, NY, Ganondagan (Gah-nun-dah-gan) is a National Historic Landmark, the only New York State Historic Site dedicated to a Native American theme. The newly built Seneca Art & Culture Center (2015) at Ganondagan is a 17,300-square-foot center that tells the story of Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) contributions to art, culture, and society.
Designed to fit into the natural landscape, the center features an interactive, multi-media Exhibit Gallery, including a changing exhibit space, Orientation Theater (featuring the Iroquois Creation Story film), auditorium, and gift shop.
New York Almanack has been following New York State’s celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution here.
