The period from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s is fondly
remembered as the heyday of the Chautauqua Lake region in
southwestern New York State. It was a wondrous era, when railroads,
steamboats, and trolleys transported local residents as well as
wealthy and socially prominent families from Buffalo, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cincinnati, and St. Louis to their summertime
destinations around Chautauqua Lake.
Showcased in Chautauqua Lake Region are not only adjacent
lakeside communities, industries, and occupations of the residents
but also the exceptional natural beauty of the lake itself, its
importance to early navigation, its recreational attributes, and
its overall allure as a tourist mecca. This "pocket museum" focuses
on the myriad attractions that once dotted the lake's
forty-two-mile shoreline: hotels, parks, camps, picnic groves,
rowing clubs, boat liveries, fish hatcheries, icehouses, railroad
and trolley depots, and steamboat landings.
