Description
An account of the resource
From a vantage point looking westward, we see the town of approximately 3,000 about a century after its first settlers began arriving following the 1797 Big Tree treaty. Incorporated in 1814, Perry initially was an agricultural area that increasingly came to be known for its proximity to beautiful scenery: the popular resort area of Silver Lake (pictured at top center), and the Genesee River gorge eventually constituted as Letchworth Park.
The availability of water from the Silver Lake outlet enabled a number of mills and other manufactures to be located in the town. Like many of its neighbors, Perry also had a salt mining company (under various names between 1886 and 1909).

Description
An account of the resource
Postcard shows guests taking in the scenery at a popular hotel located next to the Silver Lake Railroad. Actually, it was the <em>second </em>Walker House, the first having burned down in 1857. That earlier hotel was operated by Artemus B. Walker, whose desire to drum up business led to his role in an 1855 sighting of the so-called "Silver Lake Serpent." Two fisherman saw what they thought was a log, until a beast leaped from the water. Two years later, a fire at Walker House revealed the apparatus and he confessed to the hoax--it was an additional incentive to visit Silver Lake. <br /><br />Walker lived in Canada for a period, then returned to Silver Lake and built this later iteration of his hotel in 1869. He remained a promoter: his resort complex included boats, a diving platform, dance halls, and various amusements.

Perry Knitting Co.
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.
