 Stereoview "Genesee
Falls, Near Portage" circa 1856 This view of the Middle Falls was taken before 1858. The first saw mill was built at the Middle Falls in 1824, with other mills, sheds, and a lattice bridge being added over the next 30 years. The natural beauty of the Falls (as well as the nearby trees) are just about gone! A fire in January of 1858 destroyed the largest mill. Also see Image 123 for another view of the mill. Sources |
