Chadwick's Mill (Texas Historical Marker) Famous pioneer sawmill, flour mill, and cotton gin. Built 1874 by Henry A. Chadwick and son William. A sturdy oak dam across river supplied power. A millrace chiseled in sandstone channeled water to millstones. Mill and gin house were also sandstone. A fish trap in millrace offered food and sport to customers, who often had to wait several days for a turn at the mill. This scenic spot grew to be a popular resort around 1900. With hotel and dance platform. Attracted hundreds of campers. Changes in course of river, 1915 forced mill to be abandoned. (1970) Abbott, Elizabeth, Apr. 1857, done by her son J.W.
