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.
