The plaque says, "A stone mill for processing grain through mid to late 1800's. A wooden bridge was used to cross the Tiber to get to Main St. In the 1890's, Herman Shriver formed a company with local investors to begin using the mill's water power and steam to provide the first electric power and lights to the town. It became the Patapsco Light & Power Co plant about 1904."
