HISTORY The village of Adams Mills was settled by employees of the George Willison Adams and Edward Adams Flour Mill which was built on the Ohio and Erie Canal locks at this place. The mill itself was moved in the early 20th century to the nearby town of Dresden, Ohio, where it still stands and is in use as a feed mill. At some point in the 1840's George and Edward Adams purchased the land around their mill and gave it, free of charge, to their employees to build housing. HISTORIC BUILDINGS Two historic buildings from the 19th century remain in Adams Mills. The Edward Adams house (circa 1841) and the Episcopal Church (now a Methodist Church ) nearby. HISTORIC STRUCTURES The remains of locks 28 and 29 of the Ohio And Erie Canal are located in Adams Mills on the north side of Ohio Route 16. Source: The G. W. Adams Educational Center, Inc. |
