Remnants of a large dam that used to power a mill along the South Fork of the Shenandoah River near Port Republic have been fully exposed. The history of the structure was conjecture combined with accounts of the past from nearby landowners. It looks like a small dam was replaced by a larger, stronger dam in 1940.
