Points of Interest

Prattsville, formed from Windham March 6, 1836, lost to found Ashland in 1848. The town is situated in the western part of the county in one of the better of the agricultural sections. Settlements were started in the region by the Dutch a few years after the French War, 1763. During the Revolution they were attacked by a body of Indians and Tories, under British officers, who tried to drive the settlers from their homes. A pitched battle was fought with the routing of the invading forces. These settlements were near the present important village of Prattsville, incorporated in 1883. Pratts' Rocks, at the eastern end of the village, is one of the interesting places in the community. Red Falls, formerly a cotton factory hamlet, is the only other of the larger settlements.
