Just where in the heck is Redwood, NY?.. What's in Redwood NY?..

You may have driven through Redwood, NY and thought to yourself, not much!!
If that's the case you may be surprised to know that Redwood NY once played a pretty important role in the history of this area.. it had hotels, general stores, a blacksmith shop, a lumber mill, a school, a railroad station, and who knows what else.. it was an old time hub and people from all over went through Redwood to get to Alexandria Bay and the River..



But really, there's a lot more to it all than that.. so I'm gonna let Daniel Boyer and his Redwood Facebook Group tell the story.. Daniel is a former Redwood resident who now lives in Kentucky.. and to say he is obsessed with his old hometown would be an understatement. His Redwood Facebook Group has over 1500 pictures of Redwood, NY.. most with detailed captions and comments. So, if your into history and enjoy looking at old photos it's definitely worth checking out and joining..

[for the record others may be involved with the group who probably also deserve credit.. I do not know the details, but if someone does just post it in the comments]

Here's the link.. https://www.facebook.com/groups/110405705651196/ 
Below are just a small selection of the sort of old photos this Facebook group on Redwood has to offer.. If you have a story about Redwood please leave it in the comments below..
