By Charles R. Mitchell and Kirk W. House

Bath, New York, the home of the nation's oldest county fair, was planned as western New York's "Queen City," a great metropolis, with broad tree-lined boulevards and spacious squares. Airplanes and ladders were made here, and four railroads ran through town. Though Bath never became a metropolis, it remains a town of wide avenues, well-kept greens, dramatic cliffs, busy dairies, and the famous fair that has been held every year for nearly two centuries. Bath serves as the welcoming, wide-open back door to the Finger Lakes. "Images of America: Bath" is a wonderful installment in a series that seeks to play a part in the preservation of local heritage.
