A pin-connected Pratt through-truss steel bridge built in 1899, and later rebuilt in 2012, accompanies the historic six-story limestone flouring mill, and four related stone buildings dating from the late 1860’s. One of the four structures (a must see) is the newly restored three-story Motor Mill Inn.
