Besides a few crumbling rubble-rock walls, iron posts, and the old boiler stack there is not much left to be found of the old Copper Falls Mill. For the most part the building has dissolved largely to dust as the surrounding forest reclaimed the land. That being true, the old mill has left behind something to remember it by - a legacy that if left untouched will survive for centuries and broadcast the old mill’s existence to our ancestors for generations. Those remains are, of course, the sprawling expanse of stamp sands it had deposited into the neighboring marshlands during the decades it was operating - a lifeless alien landscape of finely crushed rock that stretch out for over a half mile from the old mill site.
