Sandra Scott Travels: Chimney Bluffs Takes On Mother Nature

November 10, 2017 Contributor

I am constantly amazed at how many interesting things there are to see within an hour or so drive from my home; things I didn’t know about. Plus, there are things that I have heard about but never visited. Such is the case with Chimney Bluffs State Park in Wolcott.

A generous donation has allowed Catholic Charities of Oswego County in Fulton to upgrade to an 80,000-square foot building, a growth of nearly 50,000 square feet from its previous location. Originally founded in the 1930s as an adoption agency, Catholic Charities has since evolved into a mid-sized human service agency to serve families, children, and adults throughout Oswego County and in the past two years have doubled their staff and have worked to meet increasing needs. The new location at 808 W. Broadway was donated by Michael Falcone and family, a family very involved with the Syracuse Diocese and giving back to the community. Supervisors and staff beamed with gratefulness and pride as they unveiled the new location.
