The Gateway between East and West....
For centuries water was the easiest way to move people, goods, and ideas. Hundreds of tons of trade goods passed over the Oneida Carrying Place — here raw materials sent east from the Great Lakes region passed manufactured goods heading west.
Canoes and flat-bottomed boats called bateaux were the primary watercraft in this region.
Marker is on North James Street south of West Dominick Street.
