History
The governing body is a Board of Managers made up of volunteers from the community. The Hazel L. Carpenter Home, formerly known as the Old Ladies Home of Madison County, was founded in 1882 by representatives of area churches as a residence for elderly women. In 1915 it moved from the original wood frame structure on the corner of West and Stone Streets in Oneida, New York to the present handsome colonial red brick building on Oneida's Main Street.
