I agree with you: There's something special about the ambience of this site, probably the combination of the scenery and the architecture. I also enjoyed that corridor with the arched windows and that bridge was fantastic. The straight vertical drone shot of the foundation was dope.
Thank you! I agree, the atmosphere and environment there is stellar. I’d love to come back again during the summer, or peak fall season; I bet it’d be absolutely gorgeous. Very serene and scenic.
Hey J-Man - another great video as always! I never heard of this place, it was quite interesting, and I like how you fill us in on the history of the places you visit. The drone footage at the end was excellent. Glad to be a supporter of your channel - cheers!
13:06 those are definitely the water inlet gates for the mill. There may have been turbines to power the mill, which is what those giant iron tubes would have housed. The vertical slats are the "trash rack" that would have prevented debris from entering the mill's workings.
14:04 this was the way the mill got power, there would have been huge turbines beyond these tunnel that the water turned. The turbines would then spin a system of rods that were connected to the machines. At least that’s how the textile mills in Lowell worked.
J what you looking at there with the pipes going in the ground to me it looks like they probably had some sort of equipment that sat there probably a 90° elbow and those little grates that you see that kinda run up and down those would’ve been to help keep any debris out of there such as logs and big rocks from flowing into that pipe.
Ooooh that makes sense, thanks so much for the details bro! I appreciate that! Considering the high volume of water that would have been rushing into there on a consistent basis, I think that was likely its function.
What I'm wondering is whether the pulp mill took advantage of existing foundations, there appear to be several different generations of structure here.
I do believe this is the case as well. I mentioned that there were two previous iterations of pulp mills on the site-one built in 1888 and one built in 1889-so I would not be surprised if, after the second one burned down, Henry used the foundations from that mill site to aid in building his new mill.
Nice video. Please, …wass.. as in the name of the river rhymes with boss, not mass. There are also some cellar holes across the railroad tracks. I believe NH public TV did a program about it. You might search online for some non copyrighted images to edit into your videos.

Thank you so much dude, I always appreciate your kind words and support! I had a lot of fun exploring this place and sharing it with everyone! 🙏
i bet this place is beautiful during the peak fall foliage i’ll have to visit next year!
I know right? I’d love to visit again during the fall, I bet it’s gorgeous among all the colorful leaves!

Thanks so much homie, I appreciate the support! 🙌

excellent work, see if you can find any pictures of that bridge in operating condition.
Good idea, I’ll have to do some digging and see if I can find any old, historical photographs. Maybe the Campton Historical Society has some!
14:01 you're definitely standing in the "raceway" - where water for the mill was queued up before entering the turbines.
I've been meaning to check this place out for a while
It’s absolutely worth a visit, such a cool historic site!

That’s what I figured! I know there was also a massive dam right beside it for water power. Very fascinating, thank you for the info!
Love the vid would love to go to this location

It’s such a dope spot dude, absolutely worth a visit!
It’s pretty hard to get into but have you looked into Kimbals castle at all?
I’ve looked into that spot a bit, but unfortunately I have not been, only because I’ve heard security is pretty strict there 😢

I jumped off the bridge, the climb is very scary lol
Haha it’s looks scary, I don’t think I could do that myself 😂

Gotcha, thank you so much for the correct pronunciation for “Pemigewasset”! And I’ll definitely have to check out that TV program soon!
It looked different when I went to college at Plymouth. There was some major flooding. ruclips.net/video/7lgPPckGZGA/видео.htmlsi=e9K7OFePLqZ6PRc4
