Description
An account of the resource
Operating a ship named the "Windsor," the Charlotte and Summerville Ferry Company ran a service between those two towns located at the mouth of the Genesee River beginning at least in 1877. Passenger use climbed with trolley lines running along both sides of the river by century's end and a developing tourism scene lakeside. <br /><br />The "Windsor" shown here was built in 1894 and powered by a steam engine pulling it back and forth across the 500-foot river's mouth attached to a chain line. A trip lasted about seven minutes. The ship carried vehicles and had 200 life preservers on board. Due to increasing use of the Stutson Street bridge upriver, the "Windsor" ferry finally was shut down in 1927. <br /><br />Source consulted: Leon R.

Title
A name given to the resource
Mills of Genesee Valley
Description
An account of the resource
Before the commercial extraction of fossil fuels from the Oil Creek region of northern Pennsylvania, most mechanical work in the Genesee Valley was done by human and animal power, or some source ultimately derived from the sun: burning wood, wind power, or flowing water. The exception to this, of course, was coal--by the 1880s America's dominant source of energy. <br /><br />Due to the Genesee region's ample supply of wood and running water, along with the cost of shipping coal, it's quite common to find instances of various water mills in the area's history. They were adapted to a wide range of uses: cutting wood into timber and milling it into specialized shapes (<strong>lumber mill</strong>); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (<strong>grist mill</strong>); grinding wheat or other grains (<strong>flour mill</strong>); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (<strong>paper mill</strong>); fabricating metals (<strong>triphammer mill</strong>); powering industrial equipment <strong>(textile mill</strong>); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines.<br /><br />This collection gathers various documents concerning mills in the Genesee Valley. In addition to images and written texts, there is also an interactive map illustrating the density of their usage during the mid-nineteenth century.

An account of the resource
At the time of this photograph wooden structure was at least 70 years old, having been constructed in 1830 by a Mt. Morris contractor named Russell Daboll. Its design was somewhat unusual in that wood was used even for the abutments upon which the span rested. At left side of photo is Gilmore's mill, operated first by Thomas and then his son Freeman. In 1913 the bridge was damaged by farm equipment and replaced by a metal one.

Description
An account of the resource
At the time of replacing this bridge where Main St. crosses Honeoye Creek, it was nearly 100 years old, having been constructed in the early 1830s of local quarry stone. It was the only crossing in that village, save for a ford upstream of Honeoye Falls. During the nineteenth century, water power from this outlet creek of Honeoye Lake had rendered it a desirable milling site.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources.<br /><br />First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. <br /><br />Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years.<br /><br />Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.
