Little Falls, N.Y. — A new exhibit opened at Herkimer Home State
Historic Site on Sunday to coincide with a milestone in the home's
history.

“It highlights the restoration that we've completed and we will be
completing to bring it closer to its historic roots,” said Brian
Heffron, a site interpreter at the home, before the start of Sunday's
activities.

The celebration remembered the 100th anniversary of when the home Gen.
Nicholas Herkimer resided in was sold from private owners to the
state. The state already owned the cemetery on the 161 acres of land
Herkimer lived on, before he led the Tryon County Militia in the
Battle of Oriskany. Herkimer is known for continuing to lead his
troops even after being severely wounded on the battlefield. He later
died from a botched operation to repair the wound.
