Milburnie Dam (Raleigh, North Carolina)

USA / North Carolina / Knightdale / Raleigh, North Carolina

The only man-made dam on the Neuse river between Falls Dam and the coast. Privately owned. Composed mostly of stone, was originally a wooden dam built prior to the American civil war. Once powered a paper mill.

There is some debate as to whether the dam should be removed: www.newsobserver.com/2010/04/22/448772/in-fight-over-da...
