Hart's Mill - El Paso, Texas

Looking towards the river from Hart's Mill. Hart's Mill became the La Hacienda Restaurant and is near Sunset Heights. Highway construction in 2017 isolated this historic area. There is a Texas State historic marker that describes this site.

Conrey Bryson in his book The Land Where We Live, p.21 describes it as El Paso's first industry. "Hart's Mill was established on the Rio Grande in 1849. Here at a historic fall line in the river's descent, its water was diverted into the "acequia madre" the mother canal that distributed water to home and farms."

March is Women's History Month. Wonder what the lives of these young girls entailed.
