From a plaque: "In the late 1850's, David Locke built Knights Ferry's first flour mill. It was destroyed by the flood of 1862, and a new mill was built here by David Tulloch.
A dam upstream diverted water to a water wheel which turned the millstone.
Before the turn of the century, Charles Tulloch, David's son, converted the flour mill into a hydroelectric plant. This plant provided electrical power for the surrounding countryside until the late 1920's."
