When horses and carriages were the norm of transportation, the village of Cazenovia was characterized by numerous carriage stables, hitching posts and blacksmith shops. Today, Lorenzo State Historic Site is home to an extensive collection of horse-drawn vehicles and a renowned annual pleasure driving competition. In celebration of the 35th Annual Lorenzo Driving Competition, and in association with the Cazenovia Public Library’s equine-centered series of programs this spring, a special family program will be held on Saturday, April 9 at the Lorenzo visitor center.
Program participants will learn how to identify breeds of horse, meet a miniature horse—or two (courtesy Cazenovia College), receive a guided tour of the Lorenzo carriage and sleigh collection and find out how these vehicles were used throughout the year. Special horse-related handouts and giveaways will be available to all participants, 12 and under, and refreshments will be served. Admission is free and open to the public, but pre-registration by April 5 is required as space is limited. Sponsored by the Lorenzo Driving Competition, Inc. and Lorenzo State Historic Site, this event will occur, rain or shine, from 10 am to 11:30 am.
