From the Falls Mill website:
Nestled in a lush green cove along the banks of beautiful Factory Creek stands historic Falls Mill. Built in 1873 as a cotton and woolen factory, the mill was later converted for use as a cotton gin, then as a wood working shop and grist mill. Today the mill houses the Museum of Power and Industry, Inc. and the 32 foot waterwheel still powers machinery on four levels of the building.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Falls Mill is open to the public for tours from 9 -4 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from April through November. Visitors start with an introductory video of the history of the mill, then take a self-guided tour through the building and scenic grounds. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The second and third floors are not handicapped accessible but the video shows these areas. Dress warmly during the cooler months as the mill building is not heated.
