Worumbo Mill

[1] The surviving elements of the Worumbo Mill stand on the northern bank of the Androscoggin River, just south of the center of the village of Lisbon Falls.

Both are set close to Canal Street, adjacent to the dam (now used for hydroelectric generation) that provided power to the mill.

Later, Oliver Moses, a businessman from Bath was brought in as they sought to build a factory producing fine woolens.

Due to pressure from overseas clothing manufacturers, the mill announced that it would be closing in 1964 and all 600 employees would lose their jobs.

The Maine Forest Service responded with a helicopter to drop water, and crews from many surrounding towns assisted in the battle.
