Upper Slater Mill Dam, Jewett City, CT

This cut-stone dam once powered the Slater Mill in Jewett City, CT. A sluiceway to the right of the dam (not visible in the picture) flowed under the bridge to the mill across the street. Unfortunately, the dam is no longer active and the sluiceway has been backfilled. The mill's powerhouse, now empty, once supplied 300 kilowatts to the substation in the upper left corner of the photo.
