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.
