When we drove to Lake Robertson on Sunday we took back roads...it was such a scenic drive...crossed over this iron bridge in Collierstown and to the left (depending on which way you are travelling) is this mill:
I found a report online which lists the mill's date as 1746. Seems in rather good shape doesn't it?!
Makes this bridge look like a baby!

And you can read the report on the history of the Upper Buffalo Valley HERE ...hope he got a good grade on it!

ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you ~ ^_^
Hello, I love the view of th bridge and the mill is cool. Great scenes and photos. Have a heappy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThe bridge and mill are both beautiful structures.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a fun adventure driving the backroads and looking out for something unusual. The bridge is a great feat of engineering from way back and the mill is just so pretty! It's wearing very well!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's an old mill, and it looks in great shape. Perhaps it was in use in recent history? You have found great stuff here. That bridge could be late 19th or early 20th Century.
ReplyDeletehow very pretty! laughed at the 'baby' bridge. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a real nice drive...
ReplyDeleteLove the mill! We have one here. Great looking bridge, too!
ReplyDeleteThe old mill is beautiful! The bridge reminds me of vintage kids' toys, the erector set!

ReplyDeleteAnother excellent example of a truss bridge.
ReplyDeleteThat wheel is now completely landlocked. The river's course must have been altered since the mill was built.
ReplyDeletei know! i was wondering if it was wider at some point!
DeleteNice looking bridge and a lovely mill. I like the color they painted it.
ReplyDeleteThere was an iron bridge similar to this in my hometown.
ReplyDeleteLove the mill, Tanya! Beautiful building. I have always dreamed of living in one...wouldn't that be cool!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Tanya. These are the prettiest pictures. I love the mill. Have a great Saturday.
