Blackroot Pool

Highlight • Structure

Constructed during the 18th century, Blackroot Pool was originally designed to provide hydraulic power for a watermill. Initially utilized for leather processing, this mill later evolved into a water-powered sawmill. Today, the contemporary sawmill specializes in crafting gates, fences, and various timber products sourced from the timber harvested within Sutton Park.
