Impressive four-story red brick industrial structure, with beautiful Victorian-era decorations. When it opened in 1872 it was the largest cotton mill complex in the world. Now refurbished into luxury loft apartments, it is well worth looking at. It is one of four mill buildings that are all on North Mohawk St. and landmarked, constituting along with the falls and housing that was built for mill workers the Harmony Mills Historic District.

This beautiful 1874 theater is used for performances today, some of them free, and also can be visited as part of a free trip to the Hudson-Mohawk Heritage Area (RiverSpark) Visitor Center on the ground floor, which has some very interesting documents, objects, photos and memorabilia about the history of the city and is open Tu-Sa 10AM-3PM.
90 feet (27 m) high, 1,000 feet (300 m) wide, this bifurcated waterfall is somewhat of a very poor man's Niagara (that is, with much less water, no rainbow and a much shorter drop, but still impressive) and well worth a detour by itself. It is part of the Harmony Mills Historic District and just a bit past Harmony Mill No. 3, off of N. Mohawk St.
