Local Author Visit - Carol MacDonald Schoonmaker
Author and Town Historian Carol MacDonald Schoonmaker will be speaking about her new book, Around Honeoye Lake: Richmond, Canadice and Honeoye. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Book Description:
Honeoye Lake is one of the 11 Finger Lakes of western New York. Its shores are bordered by the towns of Richmond and Canadice. At the north end of the lake is the hamlet of Honeoye, the center of commercial business and services for both towns. The area is rich in history with evidence of the Point Peninsula people (c. 1000 bc), the Owascos and the Senecas, residing there before the early white settlers came in the late 1700s. Troops who had served under Gen. John Sullivan, on his march through the area, returned to their New England homes with high praise about the land they had seen. They were among the early settlers to come into the area, to farm, establish businesses, and build homes. Honeoye Lake is no longer the pristine lake surrounded by wooded hillsides that it once was. Today it hosts year-round recreational activities, and more than 900 homes are located on its shores.

Author Bio:Carol J. MacDonald is the town of Richmond historian and a retired special education teacher for the Wayne-Finger Lakes Board of Cooperative Educational Services. She also has been a docent for the Granger Homestead in Canandaigua, New York, and is an active member of the Honeoye-Richmond Historical Society.
