The Route 20 Association:
Somewhat like the original Cherry Valley Turnpike Association which was organized in the 1920s to preserve the rural landscape and its incredible scenic qualities of the Route 20 corridor, the present day Route 20 Association began as an outgrowth of a series of community meetings held in the early part of 1999. It was at that time a new push was being felt in New York State to promote tourism as a means of economic development. Route 20 in the area of our interest for the most part tends to run along the boundaries of several of different counties. Therefore many of those communities tend to be forgotten. Many of us recognized that Route 20 has been and could be again a destination itself as well as a primary thoroughfare to reach some of central New York's most treasured and popular destinations.

The Route 20 Association has promoted several events including old car and motorcycle rallies, helped tie together several footraces and walks into an annual series, the Route 20 Road Challenge, and supported a number of other events designed to bring tourists and adventure-seekers into our area.

The Route 20 Association members come not only from within the boundaries of the corridor, but all over the country. It seems almost everyone who has traveled the route of the old Cherry Valley and Great Western Turnpikes has developed a special place in their wanderlust hearts for its scenic vistas, historic importance, and unique flavors offered by a diversity of communities with a common tie.
