Photos: Amish loggers on South Main Road

By Howard B. Owens

George and Barb Galliford of Batavia own some property on the banks of the Tonawanda Creek along South Main Road and are planning a new house there. It will be a BOCES project starting in September, but the timber needs to be cleared from the land. This morning, two Amish men from Fillmore were harvesting the trees using their horse-drawn carriage to haul the logs up the bank to the side of the road. (Thanks to an alert reader for letting us know.)

The Amish will make stuff out of the wood. My family owns one of the few Logging business in the area. My grandparents have a few things that they have made. That are just beautiful!

I have a question-they are from Fillmore-quite a hike. Do they stay here overnight,or do they go back home each day?The horses-do they use horse and buggy to get them here,or do they have another way?
