Its construction dates back to 1850. There’s not a whole lot left of it today, but it was a real beauty back in the day. This mill was huge - undergoing several renovations and additions during operation. Because of its size, the foundation, waterways, and pieces of the original building were scattered in the area and hidden by growth. In 1849 a dam was constructed to route the water towards this mill, which was built in 1850. This mill is basically the reason the town around it exists. Back then no one would farm here because of the rocky soil, but a man named John Ross had the great idea to take advantage of the converging rivers and contribute to the booming textile industry. Like most abandoned places I visit, this one was extremely serene and peaceful. There’s no graffiti and it’s kind of faded into history - this mill was constructed as an industrial center and source of employment for the town around it - this was really a bustling area. Now all you hear are the birds chirping and water running through the remains. It was gorgeous back in the day and it’s gorgeous in a new way today. It’s part of the hidden beauty of New England, and I can definitely see myself coming back here in the fall when the leaves are changing. I want to thank the Burrillville Historical and Preservation Society, who answered my questions and sent me amazing photos that couldn’t be found anywhere else.
