I've always been curious about the "old" Jordan High School up on the hill near the older cemetery (Hill Street, Lawrence Street, Quince Street area).
I think I have a photo of it. I'll dig through some photo boxes this weekend.
Anyone know anything about this old school? Maybe it was the first "official" school in Jordan? Need some help here people!

Early days in Jordan
We have a new post under Skaneateles Winterfest talking about some Jordan history stuff.
I know the Village historian is in Florida but do believe he reads this blog. If I don't hear from him in a couple of days I'll contact him to see if he has any information on the former Vrooman home.

Skaneateles Winterfest
This Saturday be sure to visit the Skaneateles Winterfest. There are fun things happening all around the village. For a special treat stop by the Community center and do some mid-winter shopping at the Craft & Art Sale (Also a great place to warm up and get something to eat).
Jordan Soaps, Herbs & Spices from Jordan will be there. Check out the many new fragrances of soaps and our new herbs & spices.
This n' That from Elbridge will also be there. They offer all kinds of great products from jewelry to beautiful glass decorator blocks to decorations and so much more.
Ever wonder what the Village of Jordan was like before the Erie Canal came through?

Chilly air continues....
Dave Vrooman, a Jordan native from Portland Oregon responded to my cemetery question. Check for Dave's posts under New Year! New Look!
Ya' know when I posted the question about cemeteries I was thinking about a couple of cemeteries that are outside the village limits. Thanks for bringing that point up Dave.

A New Year! A New Look!
Hope you enjoy the new look of the Jordan, NY blog.
Snow everywhere! Snowmobiles everywhere! Kids sliding on the little hill on North Main Street in Jordan all the time. The "hill" is right next to what used to be the laundry mat then Pizza Sam's, now vacant. They slide safely into the canal bed away from automobile & snowmobile traffic. Every time I drive by there are a group of kids having a fun in the snow. Simple, inexpensive and safe fun for our kids.
The Canalway Trail (The former Erie Canal towpath that goes through the center of the Village)is always buzzing with snowmobiles.
If we have to have snow thankfully there are many that enjoy it.
In a couple of weeks The Great Eastern Whiteout event will come to Rolling Wheels Raceway in Elbridge. This event draws people from 11 neighboring states and 4 provinces in Canada. It is a wonderful event for families across Central New York to enjoy (Go by snowmobile or car) and it gives the local economy a nice boost. Check it out via a link from http://www.jordanny.com/ Go to Upcoming events.
