Exploring the History Trail of Windsor and Colesville in the Susquehanna Valley

The Old Onaquaga Historical Society invites you to explore the trail of history in the Susquehanna Valley Towns of Windsor and Colesville. Visit sites along the river from Nineveh to the Pennsylvania border and learn about the Haudenosaunee people of Onaquaga and the pioneers who first settled here 230 years ago. A handout map of the historic sites will be online and at St. Luke's Church in Harpursville (42 Maple St.) and the old Grange Hall in South Windsor. Step inside St. Luke's, a 196-year-old structure that's home to the Historical Society's Local History Museum. And, go back in time with a tour of the Doraville Schoolhouse Museum right down the road. Travel down river to the base of Ouaquaga Mtn. and view the DAR memorial marker to Rebecca Kellogg Ashley, interpreter for missionaries at Onaquaga in the 1750s and read about the life of this remarkable woman. Be on hand for the dedication of a historic marker to George Catlin, well-known painter of Native Americans in the 1830s, at the site of his boyhood home in South Windsor. His paintings are in the Smithsonian Museum. And, stop in for the Open House at the old Grange and one-room schoolhouse building right nearby.
