French Fort, Jesuit Well, Col. Van Schaick
Jesuit Mission The salt springs at Onondaga Lake were visited by Father LeMoyne, August 16, 1654. The following year Fathers Chaumonot and Dablon made a settlement here and on 1656 founded the mission of Ste. Marie of Ganentaa which was abandoned in 1658 because of the hostility of the Indians. French Fort Frontenac erected a palisaded enclosure August 3, 1696, before attacking Onondaga, then situated south of present Jamesville. Jesuit Well was situated on the site of the mission and fort near this point. Col. Van Schaick and his expedition encamped on the shore of the lake near here, April 21, 1779, after their attack on the villages of the Onondagas.| HM Number | HM1PPY |
