🚲 Happy World Bicycle Day!

Did you know? This high-wheel bicycle, often called a “penny-farthing,” dates back to the late 1800s and is part of our collection at the Seneca Falls Historical Society. Before modern bicycles became common, riders sat high above the ground on these distinctive bikes, which were among the first to gain widespread popularity.

Although the metal seat frame visible today would have originally been fitted with a leather saddle, it still seems far less comfortable than the modern version!

Would you take a ride on this bike? 🚲😬

Memorial Day may be over, but remembrance does not end with a single day.

These photographs capture generations of Memorial Day tributes in our community, including Civil War veterans gathered at Restvale Cemetery in 1923, and post-World War II observances honoring those who served and sacrificed.

For generations, communities like Seneca Falls gathered along village streets, in cemeteries, and at memorial ceremonies to honor the brave people who gave their lives fighting for our country. These traditions of remembrance became an important part of our local history and collective memory.

As we reflect on these historic images, we continue to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice and remember the generations who worked to ensure their service would never be forgotten.
