WILLIAM G. POMEROY FOUNDATION
Amos Miner was born in Connecticut in 1776 and learned the wheelwright trade. After 1805, Miner erected a saw and grist mill about midway between Skaneateles and Otisco Lakes, a mill known ever since as the “pudding mill.” According to the local historical society, the mill was still in existence in the early 1900s and part of the old carriage shed is still on the site.
