What began as the Sampson Naval Training Station during World War II became the Sampson Air Force Base on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake where Sampson State Park is today. In this edition of Our Finger Lakes History Walter Gable takes you through the opening of the Air Force Base along with the activities and development on the property along with photos and visuals that bring that era in our local history alive.
