This is the dam and mill at Falls of Rough, my great grandfather Paschal Green Blanton helped with the stone for the dam in the 1870's. The mill was owned and operated by the Green family and was a part of a farming and timber complex that employed about 100 people. My grandfather Wilson used to raft logs downriver while working for them They would go down the Rough River to the Green River and then on to The Ohio River. In the 1890's sawed lumber was loaded onto the logs for the trip downriver. Falls of Rough had a railroad spur in the late 1800's.
