THE OLD MILL DAM
 
Rebuilt in 1933, the historic mill dam impounded water used to power the water wheel.  For over 20 years, the water powered a turbine driven hydroelectric generator which produced 15 kilowatts and produced 14.8 horsepower from a head of 13 1/2 feet.  The electricity provided light and power for the "nite club" and cave tours.
