TIONESTA

	Forest County Historical Society, Tionesta, Pennsylvania

A number of different  companies had sawmills and lumbering operations along Tionesta Creek.  The largest concerns were Wheeler and Dusenbury and the Collins Lumber Company.  Others, though not as big, conducted successful lumber operations in the area.  One family, the Cropps, did very well in general agriculture, dairy farming and the lumber industry.  Forrest Cropp was a prominent resident of Forest County for many years.  He and his wife made their home in this handsome Victorian on Elm Street.  Essentially a Stick Style mass, the building shows the early influence of Queen Anne where the flat wall plane is interrupted with a cantilevered second story and the front gable is enclosed in a triangular pediment.  A highly stylized sunburst can be seen in both the main gable and the pediment over the front steps.  The heavy turned posts are Jacobean and appropriate for the style.  The house today is the site of the Forest County Historical Society.
 

	Tionesta Dam near Tionesta, Pennsylvania

In the 1930's, in an effort to control flooding downriver on the Allegheny, Tionesta Creek was dammed just a  mile or so above the village site.  The massive earthen dam can easily be reached by driving south out of Tionesta on Route 36, just a short way up the big hill.  The site has become a destination for sightseers and recreational boaters.
