More Dam Pictures

September 2006

Recently the owners of the old mill have begun generating power, which involves allowing water contained behind the dam to flow out of the pond and through the water wheels to power the turbines. Consequently, at times, the pond’s water level is lower than normal. James Harris, our best new photographer, recently took most of these photos, showing in great detail the dam top’s deterioration and seldom-seen views of the solid rock river bottom.
