Thistlewaite Falls Thislewaite Falls is located in Richmond, Indiana.

The colocated historical marker says: &quot;On this site in 1854, Timothy Thistlewaite and his brother-in-law Joseph Ratliff dammed the water of the river with the use of farm teams, placing large boulders at the bottom of the earth and stone fill in the river channel; this changed the course of the river to flow into a new channel over a rocky ledge forming Thistlewaite Falls... Mr. Thistlewaite's saw mill at this site was placed at the edge of the falls over a shoulder of rock and near the bull wheel... The 47' fall from the falls allowed Timothy's development of several mills...&quot;
