Perinton and Fairport in the 20th Century documents the transformation of this upstate New York community into a suburban center. The change began with the arrival of a high-speed electric train in 1906. After that, the era of building and invention was under way. Pictured are some of the first housing subdivisions and period buildings-which survived most of the twentieth century but were razed for urban renewal-and the people of the time, including inventors Willis Trescott and Robert Douglas, whose patents for apple processing and Certo revolutionized the fruit industry.

Perinton and Fairport in the 20th Century (Images of America Series)
Today, we see Grand Haven as a tourist town, and home to many. The area of Grand Haven is known mainly as "Coast Guard City" and a place many people visit in late July/early August for the 10 day festival known as Coast Guard Festival. Before the festival was even founded, the Grand Haven area was a whole different place than we know it today! Many images and descriptions are shown in the book, The Grand Haven Area: 1860-1960.
Written and published by Wallace Ewing and David Seibold, The Grand Haven Area: 1860-1960 covers many topics such as: Resort Life, Life Saving Service and Coast Guard, Industries, Downtowns, Services, Private and Public, Residences, Humble and Grand, Transportation Overland and On Water, Recreation and Leisure, and Disasters, Large and Small. Personally, I really enjoyed reading about past disasters and re-buildings of things we see in Grand Haven today! This book is a good read for anyone, but I'd for sure recommend it to anyone who lives in the Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Ferrysburg area!
