Moving on, it was into the village of Durhamville in the town of Verona

It suddenly poured at this time, so I was thankful to be under the tents provided here.
Unfortunately, it meant that I would put on my raincoat, which would eventually cause me to lose my glasses, possibly at the Erie Canal Village, which was our next destination in Rome.
which somehow I missed while I was here. It is somewhat to the right of the picture here,
and somewhere ahead of the Wood Creek School (white) and before the Harden Museum (dark brown) here, overgrown with vegetation.
The site of Fort Bull is also here, with a moat surrounding it.
The Harden Museum was full of horse drawn carts and sleighs.
After finally leaving the museum, we headed next door to the Rome Sports Hall of Fame Museum, but we left soon after because we did not know anyone from Rome anyway.
We cycled onward to our campsite for the day at Fort Stanwix in town, passing by a few places
St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church,
105 East Liberty Street
|
St. Mary's Church,
210 West Liberty Street
|
Zion Church |
Old City Hall,
North James Street and West Park Street
|
St. John the Baptist Church |
After setting up camp, we went to visit the fort itself, which is pretty impressive, considering it is made of wood and earth.
while my friend got the Chicken Riggies (Sauteed chicken with peppers, mushrooms and onions tossed with rigatoni in a spicy and creamy tomato cheese and wine sauce).
I thought both dishes were pretty good, especially my beef, although my friend thought her pasta was just alright.
After dinner, my friend headed back to rest, while I decided to take a short walk around town, starting with the Fort Stanwix Visitor Center, which had a few exhibits of artifacts from the site.
Veterans Memorial Park |
Oneida County Courthouse |
First Presbyterian Church |
Rome Historical Society |
before deciding to call it a night.
