Access is also available by appointment, please contact the society via their
online contact form if you wish to schedule an appointment. |
| Stone Arabia School |
| The Stone Arabia School was built in 1854 for
grades 1 through 8. As the attendance grew, the higher grades were moved to various North Syracuse schools, and by 1948
the school was down to grade 5. In 1950 the North Syracuse School District centralized and built larger elementary
schools around the township. In 1951 this school closed and all the children moved to the Cicero Elementary School.
It now is part of the Cicero Historical Society complex and is open to the public at specified times in the summer,
and also by appointment. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. We encourage you to bring
your children or grand children to see how schools were years ago. It is the same today as it was when it closed for
classes in 1951. |  |
| Log House |
| This structure was the second story of a tavern
and is believed to have been built between 1790 and 1810. It is constructed of hand hewn logs and held together with wooden pegs. It was
discovered during the demolition of the tavern building on Lake Shore Road. It was donated to the Historical Society, marked and dismantled
piece by piece, and placed into storage in 1986. The building was reconstructed in 1989 at it's current location by members of
the Society. The building is now handicapped accessible. |  |
| Museum & Learning Center |
| The Museum & Learning Center opened in 2006 and
displays many artifacts from years past contributed or loaned to the Historical Society by town
residents. Items on display include many tools and equipment used by farmers in years past because of the town's
connection with the farming community. |  |
