Presenting archival stories of a Central New York town, curated by a veteran historian, this collection documents the history, identity, and heritage of a unique community.

Retired educator and historian for the Town and Village of Homer, New York, Martin A. Sweeney compiles and presents a new companion work to The Heart of Central New York: Stories of Historic Homer, New York (Hamilton Books, 2022). An individual work on its own of stories from a Central New York community’s past as a tool for documenting a community’s history and providing a sense of its identity, values, and historical place, together, these two are the first published collection of accounts of Homer’s past. This work represents a heritage in which a community can find common ground amid differences and lessons for today and offers inspiration for veteran and emerging public historians.

Martin A. Sweeney is a retired Unites States history teacher. He currently serves as the historian for the town and village of Homer, New York. As a public historian he has a regular column on local history in Homer’s newspaper, The Homer News.
