Geocache Description:

Congrats to KayakGZ on FTF!

This is a small park off of Trumbell rd. The entrance road is right before house number 17. There is plenty of parking, a pavilion, and some picnic tables. Park is closed dusk to dawn. Enjoy the small scenic area. 


One of the most historic sites in the village is the former 18th-century grist mill, which was apparently in continuous operation from 1731 until destroyed by fire in 1905, at the falls of Jordan Brook where it enters Jordan Cove. An ashlar mill dam, elements of the head and tail race, and the random ashlar retaining/foundation wall on the north side of the cove survive. The frame grist mill was located at the end of a short street south of Rope Ferry Road, and the site has been redeveloped with a 2-story brick woolen mill built in 1920 of brick pier construction. The mill is well-preserved and is currently used for specialty manufacturing. The mill dam is crossed by a modern, pedestrian pony-truss bridge that connects the grist mill site with a small park of approximately 5 acres.

The cc must be taken apart before removing and will have to be put back the same way.
