Cayuga Lake Region Cities
ITHACA--Located at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, Ithaca is home to Cornell University as well as Ithaca College. Its star attractions are as numerous as they are diverse, ranging from wineries and recreation to museums and performing arts. The city is perhaps best defined, though, by its breathtaking gorges and waterfalls throughout the area. At 150 feet high and 175 feet wide, Ithaca Falls is undoubtedly the most impressive--right in the town's center.
SENECA FALLS--"The Birthplace of Women's Rights," Seneca Falls is home to the National Women's Hall of Fame as well as the Women's Rights National Historic Park. Located at the northern tip of Cayuga Lake, Seneca Falls attributes much of its liberal past to its history as a heavy abolitionist area. In fact, it was considered America's frontier before the bravest pioneers forged their way over the mountains.
AUBURN--Located northeast of Cayuga Lake, Auburn is a city rich in history. Not only was it the home of William Henry Seward, who served as Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln (and who negotiated the purchase of Alaska, known as "Seward's Folly"). As the birthplace of the "talkie," it also changed the way we view movies today.
AURORA--Founded in the late 1780s, Aurora has been known as an educational center since the 1790s when its first school was built, In addition, Wells College was founded in 1868 by Henry Wells, pioneer of the Wells Fargo Stagecoach and American Express. Historic buildings are abundant in this small gem on Cayuga Lake's eastern shore. In fact, most of Aurora--including the Wells College campus--is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
