Italian american heritage in Utica, New York

Welcome to Harley-Davidson of Utica, your premier destination for all things Harley-Davidson® located at 4870 Commercial Drive, New York Mills, New York. Since our establishment in 1975, we have proudly served the New York Mills community, as well as our neighbors in New Hartford and Syracuse. Our journey began during the AMF years, when our franchise was part of Don’s Ford on Route 12 North in Utica. Despite the unique pairing, our collaboration was a success from the start, allowing us to thrive in the mid-1970s. During a time when Japanese imports were pressuring the market, we joined forces with Harley-Davidson Motor Company to expand their dealer network. We took pride in offering a range of lightweight motorcycles, crafted by Aermacchi, Harley-Davidson’s Italian subsidiary. These models were particularly popular during the gasoline shortages and price hikes of the 1973 Arab oil embargo, as consumers sought more fuel-efficient transportation options.

Welcome to the Roscoe Conkling House, a testament to American history and architectural grandeur, located at 3 Rutger Park, Utica, New York. This historic site is an integral part of the Scenic & Historic District of Utica and stands proudly as a National Historic Landmark. Once home to the influential 1870s U.S. Senator Roscoe Conkling, the mansion is a masterpiece of Greek Revival and Federal architectural styles, crafted by the renowned architect Philip Hooker in 1830. Our journey of restoration has been both challenging and rewarding. After acquiring these nationally significant mansions post-2008 in a state of disrepair, we have made significant strides in their stabilization and preservation, despite obstacles such as the global pandemic. Our efforts have been recognized with the Excellence in Historic Preservation award from the Daughters of the American Revolution, a testament to our commitment to preserving Utica's rich architectural heritage.
