Set on a jewel-clear lake in central New York State, the Skaneateles area is home to a thriving residential and business community, and host to thousands of visitors and vacationers each year.

The Benjamin Porter House is a beautifully restored 1805 Federal Home named after civil war hero, Benjamin Porter. The history of the home is located at the town's historical society, The Creamery, as the Porter home has become a historical landmark and one of the oldest in the Village of Skaneateles.
