“The beauty of Tappan Lake holds some bittersweet memories for several area residents who remember the community that had to make way for the water. The lake’s creation flooded the village of Tappan and 2,350 acres of farmland beneath 30 feet of water. A total of 125 property owners raised objections to the decision. The objections were dismissed, and the plan went forward. The Buxton’s were able to retain a portion of their land adjacent to the lake and their house and another building was moved up on the hillside.”

In the article Morris Buxton states, “I never saw my father and mother cry before, but this time they did.”

In 2005, “the water level had been sufficiently reduced to allow him (Morris) to walk down the incline and stand on his old front stoop.” Morris stated “I could look down into the basement. I had a good time growing up and living down there. It was kind of like opening a door that had been shut.”

This picture and story will be included in the presentation Aug. 13 on the “Dam Days” the building to Tappan Lake at the Deersville Community Theatre at 2 p.m.
