Ebenezer Walking Tour

What do a haunted cemetery, the Seneca Nation, the Society of True Inspiration, and an onion field all have in common? Find out on this tour of the Ebenezer section of West Seneca, which tells the story of the native inhabitants, German immigrants, and modern suburbanites who give West Seneca its rich history. See original settler buildings and burial grounds, while hearing stories of how the town grew from creek-laced forest to first-ring suburb.

Please do not park in the commercial parking lot at Mill Road and Seneca which is for customers of those businesses. This tour is approximately ninety minutes in length and 1.1 miles of walking.
