Beyond the Fence

Go Beyond the Fence with Dee Calvasina

Each month, through her column in the Finger Lakes Times, Dee Calvasina offers a glimpse into Deer Haven Park's military and land history as well as sharing about the unique wildlife and human events and activities beyond the 24-mile-long perimeter fence that once hid a secure military base, The Seneca Army Depot, from the rest of the world.  The Park now also protects the largest known herd of white whitetail deer.

If you enjoy reading Dee's monthly musings and would like to own a copy of her newly published book revolving around those stories and capped off with breathtaking photography, pick up your copy of "Beyond the Fence, The Amazing World of Deer Haven Park" today!

The book "Beyond the Fence" is a chosen sampling of Dee's columns that collectively tell the story of this 10,000 plus acre parcel in central Seneca County, NY and its owners prior to 1941 US Military involvement. Dee tells about the Seneca Ordnance Depot munition and supply storage base and the role it played in maintaining our freedom throughout the 20th century. And most recently, what this amazing but nearly forgotten land, nature and wildlife has become in the years following base closure more than 20 years ago. You'll become immersed in Dee's captivating writings as she takes you to a land "Beyond the Fence."
