Transforming Syracuse's Lakefront: The 25th Anniversary of a Bold Vision, 1987 - 2012

Transforming Syracuse's Lakefront: The 25th Anniversary of a Bold Vision, 1987-2012 is a six-panel traveling exhibit that explores the significant changes that have occurred to the Syracuse Lakefront district since officials of the Pyramid Companies and the City of Syracuse first announced plans to begin a redevelopment of the city's waterfront. Viewers will learn of the lakefront's long human history, and how the area once served as the heart of Syracuse's great salt industry. The exhibit then examines, using before and after images, the impact of the completion of a series of lakefront projects, with the Carousel Center serving as the catalyst for change. These transformations include: the removal of dozens of oil tanks to create the Inner Harbor; the clean-up of Onondaga Creek and the creation of the Creekwalk; the renovation of many abandoned industrial buildings to create the historic Franklin Square neighborhood.

The exhibit can be viewed at the Onondaga Historical Association until December 1, 2012. Museum hours are W-F 10 am - 4 pm, S-S 11 am - 4 pm. The museum and exhibit are free and open to the public. For more information about OHA, visit www.cnyhistory.org
