Description

Plate 42 from from Shakers & Kirtland by Louis Baus showing Lower Lake from the mill dam. Baus description: "The mill dam at the west end of the Lower Lake was thickly planted with willows and thus adding strength to the embankment. The dam was built in 1837 at the time the saw mill was erected, and thus the lower lake of 25 acres was formed."
