I worked in a paper mill for 25 years, it was built in 1891 and that building is as far as I know the only one still standing. We used water turbines as well for power and the river itself to supply water for steam. The turbines there are still in use generating electricity for the local hydro company.

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

i know of a post mils vermont they had a log and bobbin mill it was still in operation 1990s. it was dismantled in the 2000s.

[@MilePost106]

The paper mill I worked at here in Minnesota we had the same exact method running the pulp beaters by water power. A canal was constructed in the 1800’s from the Mississippi River and went under the mill. It closed up in the 1990’s after going bankrupt. It’s now called Mill Park located in Little Falls, Mn. They left some of the remnants behind when they tore it down.

[@MobileInstinct]

I ll look it up for next time I'm in Minnesota

[@Liz-cmc313]

Love this kind of history, the forgotten. ❤.. Terrific job Chris.

[@MobileInstinct]

Thanks!

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

cool history. i have seen a berlin cast iron bridge in meriden ci in a park.

[@ianmaddams9577]

Amazing how they salvaged repaired and used again after being left abandoned for so long. That’s proper recycling ♻️

[@sandysue202]

You always have great videos, Chris! I can't even begin to imagine being involved with the manual labor it took to cut out those big pieces of iron and get them safely loaded on trucks and hauled away!

[@MobileInstinct]

It would have been interesting to be there and watch it all happen.

[@derekandjo75]

Greetings from the ozark mountains! Arkansas side!❤

[@charliechristie2949]

I am an "anything mechanical" nut. I thoroughly loved this video, just like so many others you make. Thank you, Chris !

[@cds1957]

Just like in the 1981 movie Thief starring James Caan ,they used a burning bar to break into a safe. Good movie. Anyway, another great video from you! Keep up the great work! Take care.

[@nathanmeece9794]

Good to see that someone saved the turbines and that they were put back in operation someplace else

[@nerd26373]

We will always support you. Seems like you genuinely love what you do.

[@jontooke846]

That was a incredible story thank you. Looking forward to the next story

[@ernestj3081]

Amazing history of what we all take for granted…paper! Your insight and passion for such historical and spectacular doings is unmatched Chris. Love this kind of stuff and you do it fabulously!💙🙏🏻💥Thanks Chris

[@st2826]

One of my favourite vloggers, you always go to some interesting places ❤

[@neilp2441]

Your videos are fascinating, and presenting style is spot on. I live in Scotland, have never been to the US, and can't get enough of your channel. I've followed you for a few years now and still look forward to your next video. Keep up the great work 👍

[@dougscott8161]

Chris, you seem to manage to find the most interesting places and locate the stories behind them. It's too bad you can't travel back in time to film some of this stuff as it happens. God Bless and stay safe.

[@scottthomas3792]

Imagine building that mill with the equipment they had at the time....that was truly an accomplishment. I think it's great these old turbines are still being used...even if not for their intended purpose.

[@HM2SGT]

*HOME!* There was a video of a crew extracting the turbines30 years ago on KZbin somewhere, on the Internet somewhere. There used to be a hospital just across route 3. My pop remembers driving over the bridge before it was closed. Can you imagine driving that open deck with just a few flimsy pipe rails between you and the drop into Livermore Falls?! Used to be a great place to swim when I was a kid, there's a nice little beach on the upper river side of the mill. Or at least there used to be. That's where the Playboy party pick photo shoot from the 80s took place.

[@elim7228]

Playboy's are a clue LoL same characters always lurking in the shadows. Bunnies from the rabbit hole.

[@jetsons101]

The states of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire include some of the most beautiful parts of the country. Thanks for posting and stay safe......

[@justinspringstun5836]

Man those termite cutting bars must have been something else to see. I used to wield in high school. I can’t imagine working with something 8,000 plus degrees hot!!! They couldn’t pay me enough to do that job.

[@HM2SGT]

*As soon as I saw that thumbnail I knew where this was! Love it when stuff about home pops up*

[@larryinNH]

Welcome to New Hampshire. We have an abandoned Leather Board factory in Milton , NH.

[@ratgirl13]

You go to the coolest places, stay safe dude.❤

[@MichelleJune67]

My home State.. glad you are here❤️

[@valariebedard2164]

Imagine living back then! And Working .there... it amazing how time flies! Everything changes so fast. Great story. 😊

[@largent9]

Thank you for showing us this piece of history

[@creolelady182]

I see a great renovation here for some type of park but would cost a lot of money

[@MobileInstinct]

Definitely big bucks

[@lucidrain9469]

Thats a great story Chris! 👍 I've been looking forward to this one-

[@The-Night-Wolf]

I've been there a few times, tons of fun swimming and rock jumping in that area, I actually remember swimming up the river to that paper mill from the public beach area to explore.

[@Thecorgially]

You are coming up with some interesting finds.

[@kimkelly-kline3768]

Thoroughly enjoy all of your Explores and Stories..thanks for taking us along!

[@BuzzcutGtr]

Nice vid, Chris! My maternal grandfather (RIP 1968) worked at that mill for a time. Had I known you were passing through Cow Hampsha, I would've invited you for a beer!

[@leninmi7579]

I'm loving the series ❤👍

[@jburnett8152]

Old fashion American ingenuity. I wonder where the turbines are now. Beautiful area. Thanks Chris

[@elizabethrowe7262]

Amazing history! Makes one wonder how they even built this mill back then!

[@RobsNeighbor]

Thank you for a great story Chris!

[@trishagail353]

Great story Chris!!!❤

[@craftycasting9578]

there is one established in 1922 down the road from me still in operation today Stonehouse Paper & Bag Mills Ltd its got some nice historic photos on the website if you want to see what they looked like on the inside its the other side of the pond tho

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

I could just imagine the heat coming off those torches. Interesting vid!

[@edwardaustin740]

I appreciate the adventures in every video. I've been a fan of the channel for a few years now.

[@donnaboisen6003]

I loved the bridge. My favorite. Thanks for all you do.

[@janacollins-maguire4942]

Amazing place. Thanks so much for the video, I truly enjoyed this. Happy & safe journey Chris! 💜☮️

[@chrisblack8390]

Coolest place ever!!! Thanks

[@nikkigardiner9426]

Thank you, Chris❤

[@fhwolthuis]

Very interesting!

[@AMarchant]

I wonder how they made out, when the books were all balanced. It's interesting that it would be more profitable to recover 80, 100 (?) year old technology than to purchase contemporary units. But you've also got to imagine the mammoth task involved in installing them in the first place. I suppose that story has been lost to time, but it must have been a pretty hair raising sequence to lower those giants down into there (and to transport them to that location), especially considering the limitations of the equipment of the time.

[@charlesdeilke8364]

Those turbines are actually very efficient. Not much has changed in the last 130 yrs they pretty much nailed the Francis Turbine back than. Alot of those 1890-1910 turbines are still in use hooked to better more efficient Generators and electronic control.

[@AMarchant]

@@charlesdeilke8364 Appreciate your insight, thanks for the reply, very interesting!

[@patriciajacobs7957]

Great video stay safe ❤

[@bentley4446]

Great area. Portsmouth, kittery, Portland have tons of history. Stay at wentworth by the sea for a really unique experience. Albacore is a must too in Portsmouth. Great video as always 😀

[@rossydee]

Great video mate. Big fan from Australia. It’s funny to see two blokes just casually remove those turbines with a dodgy crane and some old trucks! I hope they got some decent money for it. Ps those kids were mad jumping off that bridge!

[@dezertraider]

VERY COOL CHRIS,THANK YOU

[@sowhat599]

Nothing is safe from taggers is it.

[@halfcrazyoldchristianredne895]

Nothing

[@SkunkApe407]

It's literally the crumbling ruins of a long abandoned mill house. Some people will find any reason to bitch.

[@dennisneo1608]

They defy gravity too.

[@apocyldoomer]

It’s amazing how they get into the strangest and most dangerous places to graffiti.

[@SkunkApe407]

@@apocyldoomer the harder the spot is to reach, the harder it is for another to tag over your work. It also adds to the impression of the piece. Graffiti, like any other art form, often goes unappreciated by Ludites.

[@thomasrohleder4281]

Maybe the way to go would have been to drill a lot of holes and also use a torch? I love hybrid solutions tbh

[@thomasrohleder4281]

Also like that Dopeless Hope Fiend tag

[@jamesholt7612]

Very cool stuff Chris as well as the history.

[@speedfreak8200]

I keep thinking of Privy Pits at a lot of places you go. Gotta be bottle dumps. The grafilthy cracked me up. " Dopeless Hope Fiend" reminds me of someone I know

[@HM2SGT]

Back when I was a kid in the 80s there was a lot less ruin, and you could see the concrete floor clearly; there was a terrific gigantic re-creation of the Becks beer label in the middle. Plymouth State College was one of the party college picks for playboy magazine in the 80s, they used the very pleasant little beach where the intakes were that is now excavated as the setting for the photo shoot. 😃

[@Denny_E_Lee7575]

That is so cool

[@steelwheels327]

The was cool!!

[@sunflowermahea225]

You misspelled _New Hampshire_ This is in Plymouth, almost at the town line with Campton, the gateway to the highlands of the northeast kingdom, just vote in the centre of the state.

[@shakascloset1700]

Awesome video

[@gregoryclayton8287]

Great stuff Chris!!! you have a great 4th of July big guy!!!

[@raymondhoagland4976]

Just to think how they were built back then is unbelievable and to go and cut them out ! Incredible , thanks for sharing and the site of those two kids jumping off the bridge into the water scary !!

[@elim7228]

Excellent video, thanks! So many questions.... Why did they destroy the bridge? Who built the original ancient structure - see the large blocks? Who made the turbines? Who was that someone who paid to remove and stash the turbines somewhere else? There's so much more going on around this site, that we would never know.

[@chucky6299]

Awesome! We have a shell of an 1800’s paper mill in Dundas, ON, Canada 🇨🇦, too. They are pretty cool.

[@NaomisAdventures]

Neat ruins. Interesting history

[@ZacharyCusanelli]

You're in my hood. So cool. There's lots of great places to explore in NH. Maybe I'll see ya around. Lol.
