Greater Utica Magazine Cover December 2015 - The History of Trinkaus Manor in Oriskany, New York.

In this issue, we take a look back at the history of Trinkaus Manor in Oriskany, a once-iconic restaurant and gathering place that became widely known for its unforgettable holiday light displays. Founded by four World War II veterans, the manor grew into a beloved tradition for families across the region, featuring hundreds of thousands of lights and festive scenes that captured the spirit of the season. Though the landmark was lost to a fire in the early 1990s, its legacy lived on through the preserved displays and the memories it created for the community.
