What is it about?

From the National Register nomination

Primary Resource Information: Dam, 1870 Other DHR-ID: July 2009: The downstream face of the dam was constructed of courses of large blocks of rock or quarry-faced stone. Four courses of stone are visible above the water line now in late summer. The dam was partially removed resulting as part of a 2007 Army Corps of Engineers project. The dam's original abutments on both riverbanks were left in place—the original head race and lock system. A 50 ft. section of the dam was left in place for purposes of historical interpretation. These ruins consist of large cut stones. Individual Resource Status: Dam Contributing Total: 1
