This is the story behind the granite boulder that sits along Oxbow Road, about a quarter mile north of the Hamlet of Peterboro in the Town of Smithfield, Madison County, New York. Dedicated on August 17, 1929 by the New York Holstein-Friesian Association, the historical marker honors Gerrit Smith Miller, grandson of the famous abolitionist and reformer Gerrit Smith, for his pioneer work as a breeder of purebred Holstein cattle.
