Arcadia Sawmill and Arcadia Cotton Mill
Arcadia Sawmill and Arcadia Cotton Mill, Industrial mill complex in Santa Rosa County, United States
The Arcadia Sawmill and Cotton Mill contains remains of a 19th-century water-powered industrial facility with archaeological remnants visible from an elevated boardwalk.
Established in 1817, the mill complex began as a Spanish territory under Juan de la Rua before Joseph Forsyth acquired the land to construct a sawmill in 1828.
The site represents early American manufacturing through its preserved structures, demonstrating the evolution of industrial practices in the southeastern United States.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site through a dedicated museum and visitor center that presents exhibits about the industrial heritage of the region.
The complex included a mule-operated railroad system and log flume for transporting lumber to the Blackwater River, establishing an advanced transportation network for its time.
