Inscription/Marks: [front-written] The Mill Dam, valley City, N.D. 05608 [back of first card-written] We didn't have any car trouble. It's windy here this morning. We arrived O.K. about 3 o'clock Friday morning. We couldn't stay at a tourist camp because out here they don't have such things. So we drove all night.

Summary: At center is a small dam with water flowing over it. The river is in the foreground. Trees line both shores. A large brick mill with smokestack stands at left, partially obscured behind the trees. There is a bridge visible in the distance behind the dam. The first flour mill in Valley City was constructed on this site in 1878. The bridge, in the distance beyond the dam, was first built of wood and completed in 1898. Between 1936 and 1937 a concrete bridge was constructed, which was in turn replaced with a modern concrete bridge in 1991.
