A Pennsylvania dam built 150 years ago to power a mill is now being removed, restoring free-flowing water
Résumé détaillé
Brandywine Creek is now revitalized and flowing freely, thanks to the successful removal of Hoffman's Mill Dam. Constructed around 150 years ago, the dam no longer served any…
For the first time in almost 150 years, water is free-flowing through a stretch of Brandywine Creek in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. This is because excavators have now removed a dam built to power a mill that has since been converted into a museum. The dam once turned a wheel for Hoffman's Mill. Today, with the mill a museum, its main work was blocking fish, trapping debris and worsening floods. Chadds Ford finally decided to let it go. Talk about moving on from a stuck relationship.Hoffman's Mill Dam was built in the late 19th century to divert water into a mill race that powered Hoffman's Mill, now part of the Brandywine Museum of Art.
