The Conklin saw and grist mills and the mill house are gone, reclaimed by forest growth. All that remains is the beautiful Conklin Cascades or Falls. Destined to become a New York State park in 1929 and the second failed attempt by Onondaga County Parks in 1962, "the Beauty Spot of Central New York" remained in the hands of multi-party land ownership.
This publication is documentation of the Conklin family millers, their businesses, homes, family members and neighbors of "Marionville", later Berwyn, and contains a multitude of rare photographs of this section of Onondaga County in New York.
