Located at the confluence of two streams, this cultural site is at risk of further damage by flood waters. Clearing the overgrowth and invasive plants will help the Park Authority protect the ruins of this 1760 mill and allow for detailed documentation. This volunteer opportunity would be great for anyone interested in history, architecture, landscaping, gardening, and community outreach.

The HSVC is designed to provide supervised and planned attention to the minor but crucial maintenance and repairs of those facilities and grounds by a group of concerned and knowledgeable volunteers. This group also serves as a presence for these unstaffed facilities to deter vandalism and unwanted activity.
