Treaty Belt on Display
Currently on display in the Bullis Room at the Macedon Public Library is a reproduction of the Canandaigua Treaty Wampum Belt of 1794. The original wampum belt was commissioned to symbolize the treaty between the United States and the Iroquois Confederacy. This treaty is still commemorated today. Treaty Day is on November 11 and officials from both governments will be on hand in Canandaigua for the commemoration. The belt will be on display at the library until November 15. Please stop by the library at 30 Main Street during normal hours to see the Treaty Belt.
