BACK READS: Power Plant. Electricity, the greatest invention,
was introduced to Clermont by harnessing the power of the Turkey
River. Christian Miller and Son's, C.C. and J.F. purchased the
old Mill and Power site from former Governor William Larrabee in 1910.
Soon after, a concrete dam was constructed and electrical generating
machinery installed. The town of Clermont was supplied with
electric lights. Next, a transmission line to Elgin, supplied
them also.
