Old Mill Falls or Buttermilk Falls is a waterfall on the Sarver Run Stream in Sarver, Pa where Benjamin Zarber (which Sarver is named after) had the first grist mill here in 1796. It feeds into Little Buffalo Creek which in turn feeds into Buffalo Creek and eventually the Allegheny River. Also in 1792, Massey Harbison and her three children were kidnapped by native americans. Two of the children were killed and Massey escaped with her infant and hid under this waterfall while the indians looked for her.
