Corbett’s Glen Nature Park
What is there 2 recorded
Corbett’s Glen Nature Park covers 52 acres along Allens Creek. You get in through a stone tunnel off Glen Road, or a lot off Penfield Road. Leonard Stoneburner farmed the glen from about 1815 to 1880. A gunpowder mill moved near Postcard Falls in the early 1830s. It blew up many times over the next decades, and several blasts killed workers. Patrick Corbett bought land here in 1892. His irrigation system made him known as the Celery King. Around 1900 he opened the glen to the public for picnics. From 1958 to 1974, a children’s day camp called Camp Hide-A-Way ran here. You can walk two miles of trails and view the falls from a deck.
