Pictures by: Jim Miller    09/26/2006 -  The rear view of the old mill, originally powered from the water source supplied via canal from North Creek.  A gentleman at the Beaver Chamber of Commerce related how, as a boy, he would walk from Main St. to the mill pond at a splash falls on the canal from North Creek to fish.  He usually had the pond to himself and was many tiomes rewarded for his efforts with a fine mess of rainbow trout.
