Historical Marker Program

Although Jamestown was officially settled in 1810, historical records trace the land’s mention back to 1749 and Chautauqua Lake’s to 1739. However, the area’s history predates written records, with evidence suggesting that prehistoric Native Americans may have visited and traversed the region as far back as 14,000 years ago. While we may never fully comprehend the hunting stories or human incidents experienced by these ancient campers and travelers, we have some insight into more recent human history. This book aims to explore and shed light on that aspect.”
