(Reverse) Seventy-Six Falls - Birthplace of the late Senator Ed P. Warinner (see over), whose ancestors settled here over 100 years ago. This area named for the height of the falls, at that time 76 feet, now 38 feet because of backwater of the lake. Settled in 1800, the community was laid out in 1817. The senator led in development of this roadside park as attraction for Clinton County.
