Archaeology:
Historic structures that were present at Woods Bay State Park include two grist mills and a cotton gin. The last mill structure’s brick foundation was present at the purchase of the park in 1973 and can still be seen today. The site of the cotton gin was next to the mill and powered by the same water wheel on the southeast end of the millpond.
