Discover the history of Allegany State Park- January 1, 2024. New York's State Parks and Historic Sites celebrates our Centennial in 2024, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of our parks and sites system. Help us kick off this yearlong celebration and get your New Year off to a great start with a hike in Allegany State Park along the newly finished Quaker Run Area Multi-Use Trail. The Quaker Run Area is where Allegany State Park was born in 1921, and this year’s “First Day History Hike” is an easy trek featuring historical and environmental tidbits of information about the features found in this area of the park.
