community
Attracted by fertile land and abundant water, settlers
flocked to Perry. It was fitting that Revolutionary War
soldiers described the region as “Eden”. Farming and
industry, such as the famed Perry Knitting Mill, prospered in
this land of plenty. Tourists came to Silver Lake, hoping to
catch a glimpse of the fabled Sea Serpent or to attend the
Pioneer Picnic, held since 1872. Perry is also the boyhood
home of Chester A. Arthur, the 21st U.S. president. Now as
then, the community mirrors the character and pride shown
by its namesake, War of 1812 hero Commodore O.H. Perry.
