Christmas at the Lorenzo State Historic Home in Cazenovia, NY






Situated in historic Cazenovia, Lorenzo State Historic Site is the 1807 Federal style home of John Lincklaen, Holland Land Company agent and founder of Cazenovia.  Lorenzo was continually occupied by the Lincklaen/Ledyard family until the property and contents were conveyed to New York State in 1968. The imprint of all of Lorenzo's residents, including the enslaved people, servants and many employees required to run the estate, can be found at every turn. 


Each room was decorated in a theme, surrounded by the original household furniture and decor!


Come on in and see the holiday decor.....

An interesting tidbit: A member of the Lorenzo family also had a marriage with the Ledyard family from Aurora.

The property is open all year with garden walks in the summer, snowshoeing the trails in the winter, sleigh and wagon rides and house tours!
