From the charm of the Hamilton College<br />
campus to the untamed splendor of its<br />
forests <strong>and</strong> streams, the Southern Hills of<br />
Oneida County is one of the loveliest areas<br />
in the state. Historic home to Oneida <strong>and</strong><br />
Brothertown Indians, this scenic area is rich<br />
in history, agriculture, <strong>and</strong> natural beauty.<br />
In 1787, the picturesque village of Clinton<br />
was settled by pioneer families led by the<br />
dynamic Revolutionary War Captain Moses<br />
Foote. Five years later, Hamilton Oneida<br />
Academy was founded by the Reverend<br />
Samuel Kirkl<strong>and</strong>, a school that evolved <strong>and</strong><br />
was officially chartered in 1812 as Hamilton<br />
College. International giant Bristol Myers<br />
began in Clinton in 1887, <strong>and</strong> in 1912,<br />
American statesman <strong>and</strong> Clintonian Elihu<br />
Root was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.<br />
Another American icon, Kodak founder<br />
George Eastman, was born in the nearby<br />
village of Waterville in 1854, around the<br />
same time that the residents <strong>and</strong> merchants<br />
of the Southern Hills were being preyed<br />
upon by the Loomis Gang, notorious horse<br />
thieves <strong>and</strong> counterfeiters.<br />
Enjoy the garden <strong>and</strong> nature walks at<br />
historic Root Glen on the campus of<br />
Hamilton College. Retrace the footsteps<br />
of the ancient tribes. Discover the picturesque<br />
New Engl<strong>and</strong>-style village of<br />

architecture, the quaint shops <strong>and</strong> oldfashioned<br />
