In 1921, the powerplant was built to provide electricity to a stone mill in nearby Schuyler, home of the Walton family from the 1970s TV show. The current owner bought the plant in 2005 and after extensive renovation, brought it back online in 2008 and is now looking for a buyer or partner for the property.
