Return to Zoar Gateway Plan main page
A central theme of the Zoar Valley Gateway is the restoration and conservation of the region's most important natural resources - Zoar Valley and Cattaraugus Creek. As such, the Gateway presents a tremendous opportunity to provide residents and visitors an educational experience on ecological and historical aspects of the area. Examples of potential subjects that can be explained through a series of interpretational signs and exhibits include:
* Village and regional history.
* Industrial heritage of the site and region.
* Geological formation of the Zoar Valley.
* Cattaraugus Creek wildlife.
* Great Lakes Watershed and how Cattaraugus Creek fits.
* Flora and fauna of the Zoar Valley, including its old growth forests.
