PENFIELD HISTORY

Thanks for visiting this page. It is dedicated to Penfield history, where you will find all kinds of information about our Town - its people, institutions, and other odds and ends. After reading some of the passages, you will certainly become familiar with some of Penfield's most prominent families. West Penfield is where Indians, the French and the English all spent some time. Of course, today's Four Corners area is where our town's founders resided and made important decisions. East of Four Corners was vast farm lands of our town's earliest settlers. Driving around Penfield will take another meaning for you - it certainly has for me!

Why did I do this project on Penfield history? Well, recently, I sent my boys to a week-long overnight summer camp. My wife and I became “empty nesters” of sorts! I had nothing to do in the early mornings, so I walked around our local cemeteries. 🪦 I would come across Penfield families of yesteryears - the last names that all of us are familiar with. My favorite walks was on the older sections of the grounds. One thing led to another - and this page was formed. I want to share the knowledge of Penfield history with others because that's the only way to keep our history alive. 

Good luck and have fun! I hope you enjoy this collection of Penfield History.
