This we dive into the area of Henpeck / South Greece area. It is made up of the area around Ridgeway (Big Ridge) and Elmgrove (Henpeck) Road.

The historical marker for Henpeck tells you most of the story. The Port of South Greece with the "8 Mile Grocery" and Post Office, School No. 12, Apple Dryhouse, 25 Houses, and 2 Doctors' offices was a busy canal stop in the 1800s.

The Greece Historical Society presents these weekly Bicentennial Snapshots to mark the 200th Anniversary of the founding of the Town of Greece. Each week we feature a particular aspect of Greece history. Each Bicentennial story will be unique in nature and over the course of the 52 episodes, you will learn about the people and events that comprise the vibrant history of Greece from its earliest days to the present.

Each story is researched, written, and narrated by retired librarian and local historian Maureen Whalen; she has a unique style of storytelling that makes each Bicentennial Snapshot come alive and easy for everyone to understand.

The mission of the Greece Historical Society is to discover, research, and preserve the history of the Town of Greece and to share that history with its residents and the local community through public programs, publications, museum exhibits, and accessibility to its archives and artifacts.
