Imagine a time without paved roads, automobiles, airplanes, electricity, telephones, or television. Most of Washington, DC's land was used to plant crops and raise cattle.
Stone buildings stood along the flowing waters of Rock Creek and those passing close by water would hear wooden gears clattering to the rhythmic beat of wood hammering against wood and splashing water.
It was a time when landowners, farmers, and businessmen loaded their wagons with raw products and drove to Rock Creek to conduct business at a mill.
Step back into a time when water turned large wooden wheels and local industries bloomed along Rock Creek. |
