Mycenae is a hamlet in the Town of Manlius, New York, within Onondaga County, United States. It lies at the meeting point of New York Route 5 and Route 290. Mycenae is located at 43° 02' 56" North, 75° 55' 50" West.[1] Presumably the hamlet was named after the ancient Greek city of Mycenae.

History

Historically the hamlet was sometimes known as Hartsville; it is however not to be confused with the Hartsville in Steuben County.

Community

The area is the site of some small farms, as well as the Aspinall Tree Nursery. Some local homes are large, while others are more modest. The Greek Revival style Mycenae Schoolhouse, built 1850, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
