    Would you happen to know the name of the boat livery that was on Franklin in 1950? It was down a steep, deeply ruttted road.

  • In the 1950s, one notable boat livery in the area around Franklin Falls was Hickok’s Boat Livery. It was located on the north side of Fish Creek on the Upper Saranac Lake side of New York Route 301. This livery was owned by Robert E. Hickok and Gaylord Wray, and operated by Minnie Wray Hickok. It dates back to at least the 1930’s.
