I believe Craig Colony at Sonyea was a Quaker Village before being taken over
by the state of New York.

I have approximately a dozen photo postcards of Craig Colony taken when it
was an institution run by the state.

I also have good leads for information about Rome State School. Phil Ferguson
wrote a history of mental retardation focusing on Rome. That might be a good
starting point. It was published by Temple University press.

Contact me directly for more information.
