History

The first European settlers, Joseph and Martha Sydney, founded a mill on Fall Creek in 1794, and other grist and sawmills were soon constructed. During this time the community was called Free Hollow, which changed to Forest Home in 1876. [2] Two historic steel truss bridges, both still used today, were finished in the early twentieth century. The last operating mill in the village was closed in 1926. [2] Today, Forest Home is a small residential community nearly surrounded by the Cornell Botanic Gardens.

The Forest Home Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. [3]
