Over a century ago, amateur photographer Floyd Ingraham took hundreds of images of a western Finger Lakes hamlet in New York. Ingraham's lens captured the landscape, buildings, and people of Springwater, New York, and neighboring communities. This previously unpublished collection gives one photographer's view of early-20th-century life in a small, rural community in the Finger Lakes. Ingraham's photographs give context to the region's historical narrative and have captured forever the time in which he lived, the people that he knew, and the place he dearly loved.
