Churchville Dam is a man-made dam that is about 6 ft high and 180 ft across. It is illuminated at night, taking on festive colors during the holidays.
It is built on Black Creek, which is a major tributary to the Genesee River.
Samuel Church built a saw mill in 1808 and a grist mill in 1810 along the banks of Black Creek. While I could not find any direct connection between the mills and the dam, one could presume that this was the original purpose for the dam.
