Upstream: Dicks Mill

 

Naomi Falls

 

Blair (1890) says Levi Pennington was the original settler here and that John Hinshaw built a gristmill here about 1800. He said that the millrace was still discernable in his day. Swain (1899) reports that Naomi Falls Manufacturing Co. built this mill in 1880 directly at the site of their 13 foot high, 300 foot long dam with no race. The falls and mill were named for Naomi Wise who was allegedly drowned here around 1808 by Jonathan Lewis.

 

Saville (1924) identifies this as Deep River Mills Dam #2.

 

Downstream: Mill Street Bridge
