Living History at Ganondagan

Ganondagan State Historic Site in Victor, NY (18 miles southeast of Rochester) is the only state park in New York devoted entirely to indigenous American history and culture. Walk in the Park visited Ganondagan on September 21, 2019 for their annual Living History Day, with Haudenosaunee people dressed in 17th century dress explaining the history and ways of Ganondagan and their people at that time. This takes place in the full-scale bark longhouse. In their museum, the Seneca Art and Culture Center, Friends of Ganondagan demonstrate ancient arts and skills, while others demonstrate traditional cooking, archery and other life crafts in stations near the longhouse. Find out more about Ganondagan

We round out this encore episode (227) with scenes from the September 2019 Ithaca Climate March, which occurred with thousands of such events around the world.

Walk in the Park is a non-commercial, public access television series produced in Ithaca NY for cablecast on Ithaca channel 13, by Owl Gorge Productions, a Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance partner.
