Falls Of Kitchen Creek - Studio # 10608

This photograph shows one of the many water falls of 'Kitchen Creek' -a two mile long creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania- that Wallace Nutting called: "The outstanding attraction in this region." Nutting illustrated this photograph on page 273 of his 1924 book, Pennsylvania Beautiful, with the title "Water Worn". "It would be entirely possible..." Nutting wrote, "...to record this region, which is about two miles in extent, and without overdoing it, by one or two hundred pictures. ...Under the wise control of a hunting and fishing club, it has been protected from unpleasing exploitation. ...It would be difficult to overemphasize the pleasure which we felt in finding all this beauty unmarred by man."

Wallace Nutting made several photographs of 'Kitchen Creek'. Follow this link to view another: "A Squirrel Bridge" studio number 10604.
