Keuka Lake brings back the time period from 1850 to 1960, the era of black-and-white photography. Featured are the local grapes and wineries, the steamboats, the commercial activities on and around the lake, and the lake itself.

The residents are hospitable; the pace is slow; the lake is resplendent and inviting.
