Summary[edit]

Description

A saw and grist mill was built here in 1789 by a religious group from Rhode Island called the Society of Universal Friends*. Their mill was destroyed in a fire in 1825.

A dam for the paper mill was built upstream of the falls. In the late 1880s electricity was produced at the mill and used to light the streets of Penn Yan.


  • The Universal Friends theology was broadly similar to that

of most Quakers. In the 1790s the Society acquired land in Western New York where they formed the township of Jerusalem near Penn Yan, New York. The Society of Universal Friends ceased to exist by the 1860s.
