—Home of Outdoor Recreation and Scenic Wonders —
Erie County's Gateway to the Allegheny Mountains. You are standing in the historic Concord Community Park. The land was donated and the park was created in 1952, becoming the home of the Springville Baseball Club. The club converted a 20 acre field into a three diamond baseball facility, and played in the Buffalo Evening News League until 1982. Today, the fields still serve the community. As you leave the park, you travel onto Springville-Boston Road which was built in 1851 as a plank road. Planks were cut in 10 foot lengths, milled flat on one side and placed side-by-side across the right-of-way to form the road bed. Toll houses operated by local farmers were located along the road. Manufactured and agricultural goods were carried from Springville to the Erie Canal in Buffalo, on this road. North of here, travel on Genesee Road, the first road built in Concord circa 1810 by the Holland Land Company. The original name Cattaraugus-Genesee Road was later shortened to its name today. Pop Warner, one of the early players and coaches of football, lived at Genesee Road and the Springville Boston Road. View from a hilltop on Genesee Road. Cattaraugus Creek winds through Zoar Valley. A short journey south from here on the Springville-Boston Road will take you through Springville to Cattaraugus Creek andHM Number | HM1YTR |
