Indian Mill and Railroad Bridge |
Constructed by the U.S. government in 1820, Indian Mill was rebuilt into the three-story structure of today in 1861. The large red turbine from the millworks was on display outside the mill (lower left in the photo).

Why would they build such a nice dam for the Indians if they would just chase them away then.
The name "miller" comes from the people who ran the mils. It's archaic now but it shows how important the job was.
It was an unusual thing for the government to do for the Indians. I'd like to learn more about it.
