    3. The Cayuga County Historians Office in March will celebrate the one year anniversary of their monthly displays depicting the history, culture and collections of area residents with a special exhibit called " The Crossroads". The month of March will feature the Irish heritage of area families. Priceless antiquities will be on display. A recent survey showed 85 % of Americans can trace their heritage back to at least one ancestor of Irish descent. The book , " A Glimpse of Erin" featuring the full color pictures and photography of Ireland by John Francis McCarthy combined with the poetic verse of Irish playwright Sean O'Casey will be offered for sale during the month of March at the reduced price of $10.00 plus $3.50 P&H. This book sold for $30.00 elsewhere. The Historians office is pleased to present this wonderful volume for family researchers. To look at some of the pictures go to the following website www.johnfrancismccarthy.com Click on gallery, and choose Ireland. If you wish to order, please use the address below and enclose $13.50 " A Glimpse of Erin" The Cayuga County Historians Office 154 Genesee Street Auburn , New York 13021 Why the name Crossroads? Many years ago, in Ireland the villagers would go to the dirt crossroads of their town to preform the long line dancing recently revived in "River Dance" Both men and women would dance there in the only large space they could find. If you live nearby in the area, please visit the exhibit. Meet me at the Crossroads! Thank you Laurel Auchampaugh Display Co-ordinator C.C Historians Office
