Island House    Scenic vista/village library
Township Hall - 1    River St. east-A    River St. east-B    Bridge Street    Upper Harbor    East Side    Dexter Street/Kids Pond    Lower Harbor    Island House    Memorial Park    River Street west    South Sashay	Take the path through the woods and go around the Island House [20] to the Island House Bridge [21]. (If the path is wet, you can continue through the parking lot and walk up to the Island House on Isle of Pines Drive and then walk down the steps to the bridge or take Cedar and River Streets to the bridge.) The Island House was built c. 1866. It was the Noble family estate and is now the library. Many fine old trees are on the grounds, and there is also much natural vegetation along the river. A winding carriage path came from the bridge and made its way up to the house. A carriage house was located along this path. The steps connect the house directly with the Island House Bridge. The original bridge was wider than it is now, so a horse and carriage could cross to and from the Island House.  Cross the bridge and turn right on River Street towards the path through Memorial Park.  (More stuff below photo)
Renovated in 2005, the library garden and plantings are dedicated as a memorial to celebrate the generosity of Mrs Mildred Reed toward needy individuals and college students in the community.	Midway on the bridge, look upstream at the small dam that was built in 1934. When it was flat on top, kids used to bravely jump the gap. Now kids of all ages like to body surf through the "chute." Downstream folks swim and play on the willow tree. At the end of the bridge is an historical marker describing the history of the Island development as well as a brief history of the building, which now houses the library. Weeping cherries in the garden give a grand show in the spring.
