This small village, with its intriguing name and welcoming community, serves as a gateway to a variety of attractions that cater to different interests.
For history enthusiasts, Horseheads is steeped in a rich past that dates back to the 18th century. The village's name itself is derived from an event during the Sullivan-Clinton campaign against the Iroquois Confederacy during the Revolutionary War, where the remains of pack horses were placed on poles as a tribute to the horses that perished during the expedition. Visitors can delve into local history at the Horseheads Historical Society, which offers insights into the area's development and heritage.
