Baldwinsville, New York
History Happens Here:
Beeline to B-ville
The village of Baldwinsville was built on the banks of the Seneca River, whose waters powered busy 19th and early 20th century mills. Fertile farmland surrounding the waterfront towns of Van Buren (to the south of the river) and Lysander (to the north) yielded lucrative cash crops, including tobacco. Baldwinsville was once one of the countries foremost tobacco producers. (Image Source: Bing Maps)

Though the Erie Canal was not built through Baldwinsville, the
Baldwin Canal/ Seneca River waterway linked Baldwinsville to
Syracuse, where boats could access the Erie Canal. In 1965, the Baldwin Canal was covered over,
and the canal bed was turned into a parking lot.

By the turn of the 20th century, the Seneca River had become a
boater’s paradise, and Baldwinsville boasted numerous
boat clubs that offered water-based recreation, as well as dances,
concerts and parties to residents and visitors.

Tectonic Sculpture 03 (TS03) is a serpent like public art installation that sits above the Onondaga Creek along the new downtown section of the Creekwalk. The goal of the installation is to act as a symbolic and formal reminder of of the importance of Syracuse’s relationship to the Onondaga Creek. The design process used open discussions to generate feedback and ideas for the project.(Source: BrendanRose.com) Link to Brendan Rose’s website
