Welcome to Lebanon, NY

Overview Lebanon is a town on the southern end of central Madison County, bordered to the north by Eaton, to the east by Hamilton, to the south by Chenango County (town of Smyrna) and to the west by Georgetown. Lebanon has only about 1,300 residents and several hamlets but no village, although the village of Hamilton (in the neighboring town of the same name) is just minutes away. This is a rural community best known for its wide-open spaces. A growing number of Amish have settled in the area, and it’s not unusual to see horse-and-buggies passing by. Colgate University is in Hamilton, about 8 miles northeast of Lebanon. The village of Earlville is near the southeastern corner of Lebanon, partly in both Madison County and Chenango County. Local Museums & Landmarks There are no historical sites to speak of in Lebanon. Earlville is home to Quincy Square Museum and to the 19th century Earlville Opera House, a National Historic Landmark. Neighboring Hamilton has quite a few places to see, starting with Colgate University.

Recreation & Entertainment Like most of the towns on Madison County’s southern end, Lebanon is rural, so the wide-open spaces here are best known for outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, camping, snowmobiling and hiking. There are several state forests nearby. Neighboring Hamilton, home to Colgate University, offers a wider variety of things to do and see, including a first-run, historic movie theater, along with the Colgate Ho Science Center (which has a planetarium and other attractions), the Palace Theatre (for performing arts) and the Picker Art Gallery. Evergreen Gallery is an art gallery in downtown Hamilton. The Earlville Opera House, a historic landmark, offers more than two dozen concerts annually. The biggest attraction in the region, the massive Turning Stone Casino and Resort, is about 28 miles north in Verona, Oneida County. Turning Stone offers not only gambling but also showrooms featuring top musical acts and comedians.

Pros & Cons Lebanon is for those who enjoy wide-open spaces, but it’s close to the college town of Hamilton, which is home to Colgate University. This area is peaceful, small-town living where you’ll even find some Amish in their horse-and-buggies.
