About 1897 Alignment of NY 23A through Palenville - Hanes Falls ....

The original routing used to be a lot steeper and direct up to Haines Falls. I'm not totally sure when the old road was replaced but probably fairly early on at the start of the automotive age as the curves are quite sharp and the road narrow.
