A Quick Look At Edwards, New York

I was tired, sore and hungry after our hike in the Wolf Lake State Forest, but as I drove through the little village of Edwards, New York I had to take the time for at least a few photos. The sign, by the way, reads "On the Oswegatchie. Settled 1812:"

I'd toured Edwards before but hadn't truly noticed what a nice little village it was, or how many side streets it had with attractive homes and pleasant surroundings:

I was fascinated by this tiny stone house with the miniature picket fence. It had a sign on it which said, "Welcome To The Little House:"

There was a pleasant, rustic church with a nice handicapped ramp, and everywhere I noticed big, blue skies with surrounding forests and farmland:

One local street had a lilac house with a red roof:

Pleasant, comfortable, well kept homes in small cluster surrounded by Adirondack wilderness and broad miles of farm land. It's about 35 minutes to Canton, so I guessed that's where many of these folks worked:

A steel roof for heavy snow in the winter:

An old home surrounded by trees:

There was a very small "downtown" which had only a few businesses:

There was a pizza shop and a few others, but these folks must drive to Canton for most of their needs:

They sure did have an impressive town hall, however. But I needed food, a rest room and to stand up and stretch my tired legs, so I curtailed my driving tour of Edwards, New York and headed for home. But I'll be back another day and hope to spend more time photographing Edwards:
