Village of Marcellus

6 Slocombe Avenue

History:
The Marcellus Village Hall as it appeared when it housed the Marcellus Volunteer Fire Department.

Fire hoses were dried by hanging them from the tower. Renovations were made to the building in 1957, including the removal of the tower and an addition to the back of the building.

The Village was incorporated in 1853 and Village Board meetings were held in this building after it was built in 1889.

The Village Board continues to meet in this building today. Village offices including the Clerk-Treasurer, Highway and Police Departments are housed here. The Marcellus Historical Society also has a museum on the second floor.

The Village of Marcellus, located in a picturesque valley in the Town of Marcellus, is one of 15 villages in Onondaga County. Situated between the cities of Syracuse and Auburn and a few miles from Otisco and Skaneateles Lakes, Marcellus was incorporated as a Village on June 4, 1853 and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2003. The Village is part of the Town of Marcellus, one of the original five towns of Onondaga County, with its history  dating back over 200 years, to 1794.
