Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: The Webster Woolen Company was built around 1850 along the Sabattus River which provided the water resources required to produce fine woolen goods. The Site is situated on two waterfalls, one with a 14 foot drop the other with a 12 foot drop. The water source is Sabattus Lake. A dam was once present to the north of the Site and the owners of Webster Mill had rights to how much water was discharged at any given time by this dam. Originally the mill employed around 250 people. Over the years the mill expanded and in the 1890s was using approximately 3,500 pounds of wool daily. In the early 1920s the mill was purchased by Pine Tree Rubber Heel Company which produced rubber soles and other novelties. In 1989, the Maine State Historic Preservation Commission submitted a registration form to the National Historic Register of Historic Places to have the property listed. The listing was completed in the fall of 1989. The mill was operated as a rubber manufacturing facility until the 1990s when it ceased operation and fell into disrepair. The mill has since been owned by both a museum and felon rehabilitation company prior to falling into default and being acquired by the town of Sabattus in 2011.
