"796.-Lower Fall of Genesee, Portage - (from under bank.)

"Views on the Line of the Erie Railway."

1870's

L.E. Walker, Publisher, Warsaw, NY

A group of young ladies have climbed "under the bank" on their trip to the Lower Falls - quite a feat given the clothing they have on. Behind them the Genesee River drops over the main falls into the "Flume" . Although the Flume can still be seen, some of the bank where they are sitting was removed in the 1930's for a trail and the bridge. See Image 61 for another view of visitors at the Flume and a modern photograph of the area.
