Title: WILSON'S MILL, FORMERLY KNOWN AS ALEXANDER'S MILL, ON THE OHIO-ERIE CANAL SOUTH OF ALEXANDER ROAD NEAR VALLEY VIEW AND CLEVELAND, OHIO. WHEN IT OPERATED, CANAL WATER DROPPED THROUGH A SLUICE WHICH PROVIDED POWER TO GRIND GRAIN. THE CANAL CONNECTED THE GREAT LAKES WITH THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RIVER SYSTEMS BETWEEN 1833 AND 1913 WHEN A FLOOD AND THE RAILROADS PUT THE WATERWAY OUT OF BUSINESS. THE SITE IS NOW PART OF THE CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL RECREATION AREA
