However, once British warships visited their shore and bombarded them with cannonballs their attitude changed; they realized that the war could be at their doors any time the lake was navigable, especially as Charlotte was a site where provisions for the troops were stockpiled.

The farm was sold to Edward William and Mary Katherine “May” Beck Reilly, who set about farming and raising their family. The property left the Reilly family in the 1990s. Homer, who married Alice Mitchell in 1906, would set his landmark milk and later dairy operation at Long Pond and Ridge Road.

The cemetery was the site of the town's Memorial Day remembrances from the early 1900s to 1963. It is home to 5 Revolutionary War veterans, 16 from the War of 1812, 25 from the Civil War, and 5 from the Spanish American War. Since 1827, the cemetery has been operated as a nonprofit with a governing board that meets annually.

However, the portion of the Erie Canal that runs through the Town of Greece is part of a 60-mile “long level” between the cities of Rochester and Lockport that has no locks. That wasn’t always the case. For a few brief years in the early part of the 20th century, the town of Greece had a functioning lock known as “Junction Lock.”
- [The City of Rochester in the Town of Greece: A legacy of the Erie Canal](https://greecehistoricalsociety.org/looking-back/living-in-greece/the-city-of-rochester-in-the-town-of-greece-a-legacy-of-the-erie-canal/) - The distinctive shape of Rochester, New York, is largely the result of various annexations over the years. Notably, in 1926, the city annexed a narrow strip of land, approximately 2 miles long and 130 feet wide, running parallel to Ridgeway Avenue in the Town of Greece. This land was part of the original 1825 route of the Erie Canal, which was abandoned after the canal's relocation in 1918. The city purchased this abandoned canal bed and, in 1922, began constructing the Rochester Subway within the city limits, utilizing the old canal right of way. The annexation of this strip was likely intended to facilitate potential westward expansion of the subway to support anticipated industrial growth. Although the subway ceased operations in 1956, this annexed strip remains part of the city. Today, residents living on the south side of Olde Erie Trail and the north side of Ridgeway Avenue may not realize that their backyards are adjacent to this historic canal route and are technically within the City of Rochester.
- [The Fight Against Polio](https://greecehistoricalsociety.org/looking-back/living-in-greece/the-fight-against-polio/) - Between 1945 and 1955, polio was one of the most feared diseases in the United States, striking thousands of children each year. Often fatal to children under 10, it left many survivors with paralysis or lasting disabilities. Communities rallied to combat the disease, with local efforts like the March of Dimes and the Mothers March raising funds for research. A breakthrough came in 1955 when Jonas Salk’s vaccine was approved, marking the beginning of the end for polio in the U.S. In Greece, NY, schools, churches, and local organizations played a key role in supporting vaccination efforts and aiding those affected.
- [NOT THE FIRST AIR TRAFFIC OFFICER!](https://greecehistoricalsociety.org/looking-back/living-in-greece/not-the-first-air-traffic-officer/) - Jules Verne was a French author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. In the early part of the last century, Officer William M. Lindner, one of the first traffic patrolman with the Rochester Police Bureau, had an idea for an aerial traffic officer. He suggested a Zeppelin-type balloon with a wide porch or platform with places for the landing of the traffic officer and storing of captive ships. The balloon would be stationed directly over the city with communication to headquarters via telephone. Officer Lindner suggested the bravest of the force be given the first chance to do airship traffic duty. He died in 1933, five years before the first control tower was constructed at the Rochester Municipal Airport. Rochester's original control tower is now on display inside what is now the Greater Rochester International Airport.

- [A Milk Pail, A Photo Album and the Fleming Farm](https://greecehistoricalsociety.org/looking-back/living-in-greece/a-milk-pail-a-photo-album-and-the-fleming-farm/) - The Fleming House, a stately brick farmhouse on Latta Road in Greece, was owned by the Fleming family for over 160 years. Joseph E. Fleming was the first to purchase the property in 1853 and completed the double-wall farmhouse in 1854. The farm had milk cows, goats, pigs, chickens, a kitchen garden, fruit trees, and an occasional nut tree. The museum was offered a milk pail found in the basement of the cow barn on the farm prior to demolition in 2008. The photo album is a vintage photo album from 1916 to about 1921, containing nearly 140 photos of the family around the farm and beyond. The album photos are now scanned and preserved in a special archival box in the museum archives to remind future generations of farming life in Greece. The town of Greece designated the Fleming House a town landmark in 2013. The author's personal interest lies in the red barn and silo that used to be part of the Fleming apple orchard, which is now gone.
