Un
panneau donne les informations suivantes:
«Named
for Thomas Chittenden, first governor of Vermont and great-great grandfather
of Frank Howe. Frank and his father Lucian rebuilt this mill in 1885 changing
from grinding with mill stones to the new gradual reduction roller process.
Grain was shipped in on the B & L Railroad from the mid-west and the
flour sold over a wide area of Northern Vermont. The four Tyler turbines
were powered by the Brown's river. The miller's house was built in 1859.
Until 1929 a Town Lattice Truss covered bridge spanned the gorge on the
present footbridge.» |
