The Three Bears
There are three of them. They sit, majestically, nearly 1,000 feet above sea level and over 500 feet above the beautiful waters that form the border of the county between Seneca and Cayuga lakes. Ovid was the seat of government for Seneca County—the county between the lakes—in the days of the nineteenth century. The biggest of the three was built in 1845 in the Greek Revival style common of the day as the county courthouse. It served as such for over a century. I can only imagine how those passing by on the village’s muddy streets were awed by the imposing structure. The smallest of the three buildings was built with the courthouse as a records storage building, but when progress outgrew it, the center building was added in 1862. They sit in mute silence to the passing of time.
