Event Details

Join us for a presentation by Geddes Historian, Susan Millet, as we learn about Camp Syracuse and the town's involvement with WWI!

Established in May 1917, Camp Syracuse was located on the New York State Fairgrounds, approximately 4 miles from the city. While temporary in nature, the camp saw more than 30,000 troops moving through its facilities during the course of the United States’ involvement in World War I.
