Quaker Bottom

Quaker ancestors' gravestones in the graveyard at Quaker Bottom; a Quaker community established at High Flatts.

Quakers have met at High Flatts since the mid-seventeenth century, with the Dickinson family playing a key role in the community's development. The hamlet includes a tannery built by Elihu Dickinson, who also built Mill Bank House. Elihu died in 1829 and Mill Bank House was converted into a "sanatorium for the restoration of inebriate women" in 1886.
