Grist Mill Yarmouth, ME
Note the impressive views of the First Falls just before the Royal River meets tidewater. This historic location looks downstream to old mill and shipyard sites and the location of many other early industrial and commercial endeavors. These falls were the first harnessed to power a mill site by early settlers. The park is the site of a former large saw and grist mill (the Casco Mill) which was begun in 1674, and then expanded in 1681 by Walter Gendall. After storms the falls can be very impressive!
