Download or read book Conneaut Lake written by Jane Smith and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvanias largest natural lake, was formed when glaciers receded during the last ice age. Founded by Abner Evans in 1793, the town was originally called Evansburg in 1858 but was renamed Conneaut Lake in 1892. This area has retained much of what made it unique over the years. The large ship structure protruding from Oakland Beach Hotel was as familiar a sight to visitors in the mid-1950s as railroad cars filled with blocks of ice were to tourists in the early part of the century. Ice was harvested from beautiful Conneaut Lake, wrapped in sawdust, and stored in mammoth icehouses until it was time to ship them to large cities. Today, the lake is used mainly for recreational purposes, such as skiing, boating, swimming, and fishing. The largest Muskie ever caught in the state of Pennsylvania was from the waters of Conneaut Lake. The town is also where Channellock, Inc., a worldwide distributor of famed blue handle pliers and other quality hand tools, got its start in 1886.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1877, a humble boat landing was constucted on Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania's largest natural lake. Colonel Frank Mantor, a visionary, discovered and purchased the property and convinced investors from the Pittsburgh, Shenango, and Lake Erie Railroad to extend the railroad line to a newly built resort on the site. In 1892, Exposition Park--a permanent fair exhibiting machinery and livestock--was founded. Amusement rides were added alongside hotels, cottages, restaurants, and other businesses. The resort grew into an amusement park and was renamed Conneaut Lake Park in 1920. Conneaut Lake Park illustrates the evolution of this lakeside resort with images of long-gone attractions such as the Hotel Elmwood, Temple of Music, Jungle Cruise, Fairyland Forest, and Wild Mouse. Recent favorites such as the Blue Streak, Tumble Bug, Ultimate Trip, and Devil's Den are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Carnegie's vision of transporting iron ore from his boats on Lake Erie to his Pittsburgh steel mills was realized when he obtained ownership of a series of railroad companies in the region. In 1900, these companies became the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad, which connected the Lake Erie ports of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Conneaut, Ohio, south to North Bessemer near Pittsburgh. Through vintage photographs, Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad highlights the railroad passenger excursions to Conneaut Lake Park and the steam and diesel locomotives used on the well-maintained line. The railroad continues to serve the steel industry today and in May 2004 was acquired by the Canadian National Railway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry and Bill Monnie share a common birthplace, but they have separate stories to tell. While journeying separate ways, they never truly grew apart, even in the midst of the adversity that life presents each during a period of major cultural change and unrest in the United States and the world. Their stories reflect the core values of the Monnie/Diehl family and the lake that spawned them; core values that are immutable and which these two brothers have honored throughout their lives.Terry takes the traditional route of consistently honoring the core values of the Monnie/Diehl family and the Lake: college and serving honorably in the Viet Nam Conflict. Bill, however, take a different route, which family and many others from Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, consider divergent from core values: immersion into the leftist politics of the 1960's and the Civil Rights Movement.How does this story end? Truly it is determined by The Lake Effect.

Download or read book Route 6 in Pennsylvania written by Kevin J. Patrick and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-29 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pennsylvania's mid-20th-century Route 6 brought together appealing natural environments, historical events, and cultural landscapes. The eastern length of the route crosses an area featuring rolling mountains and tranquil valleys dotted by farms and towns. To the west, Route 6 traverses a more level landscape that also includes lakes. This book presents the 370-mile scenic drive as a destination in itself. It covers the secluded setting of northern Pennsylvania where Route 6 and its towns have experienced minimal changes associated with larger metropolitan regions and interstate highways. As a result, the mid-20th-century landscapes of Route 6 have lingered a little longer. The authors give the reader a peek of a past not entirely swept away.
