artifacts, collected by Mr. Letchworth, including items
such as stone tools and pottery. Early photographs of
the park along with displays, tell of the evolution of
Mr. Letchworth's estate into the 14,350 acre state park
that we enjoy today. Housed at the museum are the contents
of Mr. Letchworth's personal library which reflect not
only his interests, but also social concerns. |

| Restored Seneca Indian Council House |
| On the ridge behind the Glen Iris Inn stands a restored
Seneca Indian Council House and the grave of Mary Jamison.
Mary Jamison, the White Woman of the Genesee, was captured
by Indians from her Pennsylvania home at the young age
of fifteen and brought to the Genesee Valley. Here, she
married, raised her children and lived peacefully to
the age of 90 amongst her adopted Seneca Nation people.
Her cabin on the Grandeau Flats, just North of the falls
was her home for many years. The log structures located
here were preserved by Mr. Letchworth as part of his
ongoing endeavor to preserve the Seneca culture. |
