Since 1835; when Ziba Beardsley declared; "The water is as clear as crystal;" generations of people have enjoyed the areas spring-fed lake. The pages of this book take readers on a trip back through time to learn more about the twin towns of Nunda and Crystal Lake and their eventual union. Meet some of Crystal Lakes first settlers; as well as those who came later; and discover how they shaped the community. See photographs and descriptions of summer resorts; country clubs; parks; schools; and churches. Trace the development of both Virginia Street and the historic downtown district through vintage street scenes. Some of the buildings shown in Crystal Lake were removed long ago; yet others are still standing to serve as silent reminders of the communitys rich and proud heritage.
