Why this spot

1889-1920s logging and sawmill town

A lumber town on the Youghiogheny above Friendsville, known as Yough Manor and Krug before Kendall, at the end of the Confluence and Oakland Railroad. The timber trade collapsed in 1912, most people had left by the 1920s, and the line was rerouted in 1942 before Yough Lake was filled.View source →
