Boardwalk end

The boardwalk ends after crossing a feeder stream to the mill pond. After this point, it's a ground path that can, at times, be quite muddy. The path leads to an excellent vantage point to see the mill pond, mill and dam, from a new (for me) angle.

In the early 1900's - during and after WWI - these apartment buildings were built for African American laborers and their families. The workers were recruited, mostly from the south, to work in factories in the northern industrial towns like Fairbanks Morse Co. in Beloit. (Labor was scarce due to demands labor and military service in WWI.)
