Legend of the Finger Lakes


According to one Native American legend, the lakes were formed when the great Spirit laid his hands on the land to bless it. His fingers left imprints that filled with water, hence the name “Finger Lakes.”  This legend is made even more interesting when you consider the location of Palmyra– the site of the Restoration - in this figurative handprint.
