Sunday
September 19th a Pot Luck in Port Gibson NY
Directions to Hank &
Donna’s House
88 Granger Street Port Gibson, NY 14537
September 19, 2010
Port Gibson, NY is 4 miles East of Palmyra, NY and 3 miles
West of Newark, NY. NY Route 31 passes through PG, however, the
homes / cottages along the Erie Canal widewaters are separated from the actual
hamlet by NY 31. We are “up in the hamlet.”
WARNING::: Sunday, 09/19 is the last day of activities
for Palmyra’s Canaltown Days Celebration - an annual event for crafters and
trinket flea market vendors as well as parades, etc, etc. Traffic,
from the west, through Palmyra is routed off Main Street via somewhat narrow
side streets and is well marked.
From the west:
NY 104 (Death Alley) and NY 441 (Penfield Rd.) meets both NY
350 and NY 21. Note: NY 441 kind of / sort of ends at NY 350,
however, if you continue straight on the Marion-Walworth Road, you’ll join
NY 21 at Marion. By taking NY 21 south into Palmyra you’ll be
able to avoid the shuffle around Main Street. Turn left at NY
31 in Palmyra and go east 4 miles to Port Gibson. NY 31 bears
left; you’ll want to stay straight “up” into the hamlet. Turn
right onto Canandaigua Street. Turn left onto Bemis Street and park
your cars in the large empty lot - opposite the cemetery & the fenced-in
Firemen’s field.
Our house is kiddy-corner to the parking area; the red barn and gray ranch
is an easy walk away.
From the east:
NY 104 (Death Alley) will meet NY 88 in Sodus, NY; south on
NY 88 will go to Newark to meet NY 31. West on NY 31 will take
you to Port Gibson. Left into PG and right on Greg St. to either Granger
or Canandaigua St. to join Bemis St for parking the car See above.
NY 31 from Savannah, Clyde, Lyons, and Newark does the same as above.
NY 96 west from Phelps & Clifton Springs you’ll want to watch for County
Rd 7 - a left off 96 - at the brick Manchester Town Hall.
CR 7 will bring you into PG and Canandaigua St. is the 1st left AFTER the
old red brick “trolley station” - now T & J’s Repair Shop.
If you miss Canandaigua, proceed to Granger St to Bemis - both left off
CR 7. At the far end of Bemis, park the car and walk to the gray
ranch with the red barn. (I always wanted a red barn.)
From the south:
NY 14 will join NY 31 in Lyons and proceed west on 31 to PG.
NY 21 will join NY 31 in Palmyra; proceed east (right) on 31
through Palmyra - follow the detour signs through Palmyra.
Some map programs list Port Gibson as a Palmyra address - PG is just a stone’s
throw away from the Palmyra town line, so that’s why.
