Along Main Street-Norwich, McKean County

The Goodyear Lumber Company began building Norwich about 1910.  This image of Main Street reveals what is probably typical of a small but prosperous lumber community of Pennsylvania early in the twentieth century. Norwich met its demise in 1921, when trees in the area were depleted and the sawmill ceased operations. Today the site has been reclaimed by the forest and is part of State Game Lands #30.
