 Water
power was key to the success of nineteenth century industry in Essex County,
New York. Three turbines from a sawmill in Lewis have been moved to an exhibit
on the front lawn of the Adirondack History Center Museum in Elizabethtown. An
interpretive exhibit describes the Jonval type turbines, a later reaction turbine
and an experimental wheel. These turbines are examples of innovation in turbine
design and rapid changes in waterpower technology.
