Romulus, New York – June 17, 2020
Forget the bus and take your car!
Deer Haven Park is offering a new way to experience the history and wildlife at the former Seneca Army Depot. The grand opening of The Majesty & Mystery Automobile Tour is set for Saturday, June 27th at Deer Haven Park in Romulus.

When you visit Deer Haven Park this summer, you will be in the comfort of your own vehicle and ride along a pre-determined course on military and local roads that have not been driven on by the general public in over 80 years!
You’ll see some of the ammunition storage igloos, gunpowder buildings, and rail-car loading platforms used by the US Army to load and offload bombs and ammunition for use overseas during WWII, the first Gulf War and every military confrontation in between. You will see evidence of civilian farm life prior to 1940, and of course, you will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Majestic Seneca white deer and American Bald Eagles that reside at Deer Haven Park!
Please Note:
For safety and liability reasons, VISITORS WILL BE REQUIRED TO REMAIN IN THEIR VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES WHILE ON THE AUTO TOUR.
