Marshalls Creek
MARSHALL'S CREEK, 28.2 m. (125 pop.), a summer resort on Marshall's Creek, was named for Edward Marshall, participant in the Walking Purchase (see Tour 10A). The creek is dammed here to form a large lake from which ice is cut in winter. A mechanical conveyor moves slabs of ice to a thick-walled icehouse where it is stored under sawdust until summer. Marshall's Falls, among the State's finest, is near by.
In Marshall's Creek is a junction with State 402 (see Tour 1).
