Nineteenth Century Foundations Survive Across the Centuries
In the 1800s, the Cradit, Manning, LaBar, Hanshaw, Kline, and Bush families farmed in what would later become the Village of Cayuga Heights. The land was suited to dairy and sheep farming, and farmers also grew corn, wheat, and oats. Though no longer an agricultural area, Cayuga Heights is still home to some of the original nineteenth-century structures.
