Kanadesaga









Geneva is close to the site of one of the principal villages of the Seneca Indians, named Kanadesaga, which was entirely destroyed by General John Sullivan in his famed expedition against the Indians in 1779.  This site is a little more than a mile west of the lake and near the corner of Pre-emption Road and Castle Road.  This site is marked by the presence of the Indian burial mound which to this day is undisturbed.
