MARKER DEDICATION:
SUNDAY, JUNE 28 – FERNDALE
4:00 PM: Dedication Ceremony, Maurice Gerry’s, 9 Ferndale Road
5:00 – 7:00 PM: “Find Me in Ferndale!” at Ottos, 2514 NY-52, Liberty
We kick off the 2026 season in Ferndale with the dedication of our 16th historic marker at 4:00 PM at 9 Ferndale Road, across from the Mobil station. Once home to early sanitaria and later a hub for resorts and bungalow colonies, Ferndale became a lively center of leisure and hospitality at the turn of the 20th century.
After the ceremony, join us at Otto’s for Find Me in Ferndale! —a fun, visual program exploring the hamlet, the evolution of Route 17, and Grossinger’s earliest days in town. Enjoy an immersive slideshow, music, themed cocktails and food for purchase, and hometown lore followed by a marker project merch pop-up. Come curious, leave with a new appreciation for Ferndale’s fascinating past. This event is free and open to all.
