Welcome to Mt. Morris, New York

Anyone who hasn’t made a recent stop on Main Street in Mt. Morris, one of the gateways to Letchworth State Park, will have a surprise. The once shop-worn business district has a new look with renovated buildings and new shops and restaurants.

Greg O’Connell Day, a 1964 SUNY Geneseo grad has pur-chased more than a dozen and a half Main St. buildings and is renovating them.

O’Connell Day, who didn’t become a developer until after retiring from the New York City Police Dept., renovated old ware-houses along the waterfront in Red Hook, N.J. He then turned his attention to Mt. Morris, N.Y.

New Letchworth Nature CenterTo Open in Park This Year

Construction on the Letchworth Nature Center is in full swing, with a projected opening in 2016. The project is meeting the pro-jected schedule in terms of construction and private fundraising.

To date, $2 million has been raised through private donations and grants towards a minimum $2.1 million goal. The project is also expected to meet construction timeline goals. Since the nature center project began, it has involved local builders, sup-pliers and designers to make the nature center a reality, drawing on the workforce and resources found in Rochester and Western New York.

“Good progress is being made and the building is really taking shape,” said Peter Humphrey, chair of the Letchworth Nature Center Planning Committee. “Seeing the frame and architectural features move from paper to a building we can see and enter is exciting and gratifying. We are impressed with the level of detail we are seeing and grateful to the many local and regional contractors who on site, making this building a reality.”

While the physical building is in progress, fundraising efforts are still a top priority for the committee leading the project.

“We still have naming opportunities for donors and we are selling engraved brick pavers that will be incorporated into the center,” Humphrey said. “We are grateful for the range of donations we have received in support of the Letchworth Nature Center. I am so proud of the fact we have raised $2 million for this project to leverage state funding.

“As we look to final completion of the building, we are making a push to raise an additional $100,000 to meet our goal.”

Sponsorships remain for many of the building and architectur-al components of the nature center, including an exhibit room, classroom, covered terrace and educational programming area, solar panels, exhibits and more.

Brick pavers can be purchased for $250 apiece and can be engraved with a name. To date, nearly 200 engraved brick pavers have been purchased and will be delivered to the park in mid-March for inclusion in the back patio layout of the nature center. The pavers will be engraved by Miller Brick, a Rochester supplier of brick and stone for use in indoor and outdoor construction. Pavers will continue to be sold after the nature center’s opening.

About Letchworth State Park

New Guide Highlights Letchworth Park Waterfalls

The grandeur of the three waterfalls located in the south-ern end of Letchworth State Park has drawn visitors for more than a century and now readers will have a guide to the natural beauty of the park’s features.

The guide contains directions on how to reach the best viewing area for more than 25 waterfalls. There are nine maps that show the locations of the waterfalls and the trails used to reach the viewing areas.

More than 50 black and white photographs of the water-falls are included in the guide. As well, three photographs of the Lower Falls, taken from the same area over the last 35 years, show how the appearance of the Lower Falls have changed dramatically as they have receded upstream.

The guide also contains information on Letchworth ad-ventures, area accommodations and seven other state parks that have well-known waterfalls.

Author Scott A. Ensminger, of North Tonawanda, has worked closely with Letchworth State Park naturalist Douglas K. Bassett to gather information on the waterfalls for the book.

For more information on the guide, visit lulu.com/shop and enter Letchworth in the search box or call 1-844-212-0689. The guide is available at park gift shops, snack bars, the Lower Falls restaurant and the campground store.

Letchworth Portageville Entrance Closed Until 2018By Carly Vair

With construction underway on the Norfolk Southern High Bridge, the Portageville entrance of Letchworth State Park is now closed, and it is expected to remain closed until September 2018.

The park’s other entrances remain open, and the Glen Iris Inn, Upper and Middle Falls will all remain accessible during construction. Park Manager Roland Beck said he doesn’t antic-ipate any adverse effect on tourism.

“The Portageville gate is one of our lesser-used gates to begin with,” Beck said. “To accommodate this, we redid our Castile gate so that’s bigger; it’s now two lanes … so that should accom-modate any extra traffic we may get.

“There are just some trails that they won’t be able to access. It’ll have minimal effect.”

The current bridge was built in 1875 and, in 2011, was identi-fied by the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Coun-cil as one of its five-year projects to address barriers to economic growth. The new arch will cost $70 million to construct, and, given the frequency of trespassers on the old bridge, the railroad is taking precautions to prevent trespassers in the new designs. With that in mind, Beck stressed that visitors to the park need to follow detours and stay off trails that are closed.

“I just want to remind everybody, for their own safety, if they come out to the park and they want to view any of this construc-tion, please obey the closures,” Beck said. “They will still be able to view the Upper Falls and the bridge from the Upper Middle Falls area. We don’t want anybody getting hurt. It’s still going to be an active construction zone and it’s still an active railroad as well.”

The Portageville entrance at Letchworth State Park closed last week due to construction on the new Norfolk

Southern High Bridge over the Upper Falls. The new railroad bridge will be located about 75 feet south of

the current bridge, which is pictured above.

William Pryor Letchworth MuseumThe William Pryor Letchworth Museum houses a collection

relating to the Indian and pioneer history of the Genesee Valley as well as archeological and natural history displays. It is located in the Middle Falls Area of the park near the Glen Iris Inn.

The museum itself was built in 1912 and was planned by William Pryor Letchworth to expand his original Genesee Valley Museum which was built in 1898.

The museum is open from 10 am to 5 pm, seven days a week, from May 1 through October. The suggested donation is $1.00/adult and $.50/child, $3 per family. The museum phone is (585) 493-2760. The History Department phone is (585) 493-3616.

The park offers a number of other historic interest points including:

Council Grounds with the Seneca Council House, Nancy Jemison cabin and the Mary Jemison statue and gravesite. Located on a bluff behind the museum.

Glen Iris Inn, former home of William Pryor Letchworth and now a country inn and restaurant with a view of the Middle Falls.

Parade Grounds, a Civil War camp and training grounds for the First New York Dragoons. Located in the east area of the park.

Portage Bridge, an iron railroad bridge which replaced the highest wooden bridge in the world, which burned in 1875. (Public not allowed on the bridge since it is still an active railroad.)

St. Helena and Gibsonville, “Ghost Towns of the Genesee,” were thriving villages now vanished from the valley.

Genesee Valley Canal Locks, historic site.

Like the brick pavers, many of the materials used in the con-struction of the Letchworth Nature Center are locally-sourced and come from suppliers in the Western New York area. Design features — like the rock face on the exterior of the building — are natural materials collected from within Letchworth State Park.

To date, construction for the nature center is on schedule. The foundation, under slab mechanical work, and structural steel were in place by summer 2015, with timber framing and insulation panels added in October 2015. The building’s final structural components and roofing were added in December 2015 before the first snowfall.

To learn more about the nature center or to support the cam-paign, visit www.letchworthnaturecenter.org.
