Salmon Falls Mill Historic District

The Salmon Falls Mill Historic District contains four large structures and seven smaller buildings spread across 14 acres along the Salmon Falls River.

The district's industrial development began in 1623 when settlers established a sawmill after damming the Salmon Falls River for water power.

Different immigrant groups, including Irish, French-Canadian, Italian, and Greek communities, contributed to the mill district's population throughout its operation.

The historic district features walking paths near the river that connect various preserved industrial structures from the nineteenth century manufacturing period.

The Number 2 Mill, constructed in 1848, implemented an early turbine system instead of traditional water wheels for machinery power.
