Overlooking scenic Cazenovia Lake, the Lorenzo State Historic Site is a mansion built by Colonel John Lincklaen, founder of the village of Cazenovia. The painted brick mansion, begun in 1807 and completed in 1809, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The site became a state property in 1968 and now operates as both a tourist destination and a center for community events hosted by the Friends of Lorenzo.

The expansive grounds also hold the Lorenzo Gardens and the historic Rippleton Schoolhouse, moved onto the site in 1997.
