The north branch of Sandy Creek in Burrville, New York (Jefferson County) had a 30 foot waterfall, which was dammed and used to power a mill, built in 1801. Burr's Mill was originally a sawmill and grist mill, but was converted by Homer Rebb in the 1940's to commercial cider production. The old penstock is still visible. The falls are visible from a series of public-access decks behind the mill.
