Oakwood Cemetery Early Settlers Tour - Walking around Oakwood Cemetery in  Penfield NY at sunrise is such a wonderful experience. Getting lost  locating a family lot and stumbling on another. Glance around and you  will see familiar names that we once only identified with roads, parks  and schools. It is hard not to research more about the families and  ponder what life was like back then. More than two hundred years ago  sometimes, how was our town of Penfield mapped out? Why did they come  here in the first place? What was life like? All questions that we want  answered to give more meaning in our lives today. Walk with me as I take  you around Penfield’s earliest settlers in 3 minutes! We start from  John Strowger to Alanson Higbie to Andrew Lincoln to John Fellows to  Daniel Penfield to Samuel Rich to George Parmenter to John Hipp. Enjoy  the sights and sounds. VOLUME UP! 

Oakwood Cemetery East Penfield Tour - This is another beautiful walk around  Oakwood Cemetery in Penfield NY. However, this time we walk around  families that are more known in East Penfield. Those familiar with  Jackson Road or Harris Whalen Park or Whalen Road may enjoy this walk.  Of course we finish the walk our namesake couple Daniel Penfield  and  Mary Penfield and finally Mary’s family – namely Henry Sr. Fellows and  John Fellows. Enjoy the sights and sounds. VOLUME UP! 

Indian Landing and Fort Schuyler Tour - Take 4 minute walk with me through  beautiful Ellison Park in Penfield. I will take you back in time, maybe  300 years ago, when indigenous Iroquois used this Indian Landing to keep  and launch their canoes onto Irondequoit Creek. As we leave the Landing  and walk over the bridge and through the woods, we come upon the  presumed site of Peter (Pieter) Schuyler’s 1721 Trading Post, known as  “Fort Schuyler.” Its purpose was to encourage trade with the Senecas and  complete with the French for furs. A replica log cabin was built in  1938 to commemorate the site. Enjoy. Oh, and volume up!
