Herman Le Roy's Mill - New York Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Here the natural water power potential of
Old Buttermilk Falls determined not only the
village site, but in 1803, the erection of
Stoddard and Platt's Pioneer Grist Mill. In
1822, Herman Le Roy, for whom the town was
named, replaced this with a much larger mill
whose famed Genesee Flour won a coveted medal
at the London Crystal Palace Exhibition in 1851.
The low earthern dike forming Herman Le Roy's
mill pond established the location of the
great Niagara Road, the village business
district and the four successive Main Street
bridges - 1802 of wood, 1823 of stone, 1855
of iron and 1908 of concrete.
