This park is just as rich in history as it is in natural beauty, which dates back to the 18th century.
In 1740 a fellow by the name Thomas Johns constructed a saw mill near one of the many ponds in Valley Falls Park. In 1790, two local residents, Joseph and Samuel Carver purchased the water rights and mill, and turned it into a linseed oil mill. When cotton and wool fabric began to take root in society, the need for linseed pressing was greatly diminished, and the mill was subsequently closed. It was converted into a grist mill for a short period of time, before it was eventually abandoned.
The foundation of this mill can still be seen today amid the underbrush of the location, and adds to the rich history of Vernon. This history is what gives Vernon its unique charm, and makes it such a special place to live.
