Book excerpt: Nestled among the hills of western New York State is the beautiful lake Keuka, the Indian word for "canoe landing." Once visited, the loveliness and serenity of this particular lake in New York's Finger Lakes region draws people back. Visitors return to stay for a week or the summer, and tourists come back, often annually. Many who have lived or summered at the lake return to retire. Keuka Lake brings back the time period from 1850 to 1960, the era of black-and-white photography. Featured are the local grapes and wineries, the steamboats, the commercial activities on and around the lake, and the lake itself. Today, the boats are no longer steam powered and the wineries are more plentiful, but other aspects of life have not changed. The residents are hospitable; the pace is slow; the lake is resplendent and inviting.
Download or read book Steamboats on Keuka Lake written by Richard S. MacAlpine & Charles R. Mitchell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The grand age of steamboats on Keuka Lake began in 1835 and was vital to the development of the region. The boats carried excursionists--Victorian tourists--to the resorts and cottages that lined the lakeshore. The communities of Penn Yan, Hammondsport and Branchport that anchor the three branches of the Y-shaped lake flourished. This prosperity helped grow the area's grape and wine production that is so celebrated today. Though the last steamboats were taken out of service in 1915, the romance and nostalgia of the period are preserved in tales of glamorous steamers, the people who worked and traveled on them, the resorts they served and the history they made. Local historians Richard MacAlpine and Charles Mitchell capture the stories, anecdotes and photos from this bygone period.

Download or read book Penn Yan and Keuka Lake written by Charles R. Mitchell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penn Yan and Keuka Lake share a history that is rich in architecture, industry, and tradition. While "Penn Yan" may sound like an Anglicized Chinese dish, it most certainly isn't--the unique name was chosen because the first people to settle in the village in 1833 on the edge of New York's Keuka Lake were comprised of Yankees from New England and Pennsylvania. The town's name is just one of the many distinctive aspects of Penn Yan and Keuka Lake's intriguing past; the town has long had a commercial district, much of which occupies the historic district today. Still standing in the historic district are many of the elegant houses and business buildings that were constructed in the 19th century, reflecting the broad range of architecture used in the village's development over the decades.
