"In 1925, a 7,200-square-foot dance pavilion called "The Green Mill" opened near the dam at Riverside Park.
In 1936, the space added roller skating. It also hosted concerts, including Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Conway Twitty, & Alice Cooper. One article we found mentioned Cooper was banned from town after the show! An archived article by R.L. Heminger goes into detail about the Green Mill's history until a sale a few years before it was demolished in 1978."
