About

In 2025, HCIG received its first grant from the Northern New York Community Foundation to support the creation of an interactive history trail throughout the village and harbor. This project, led by Jane Cagwin, is aimed at promoting Henderson’s and Henderson Harbor’s rich history, its founding, and various historical periods. For Phase One of this project, several sites have been researched, with several more in process. Signs will be created and erected at the sites. Each sign will have a bar code that, when scanned, will take the viewer to an oral presentation by local historian Tim Lake, with photographs and other documents on a YouTube channel. HCIG appreciates and thanks Elaine Scott of the Henderson Historical Society for her assistance with this project.
