The buildings are lovely, the tours interesting, and the opportunities for recreation and to purchase from local farms and artisans in the summer months are not to be found many places. Check it out!

If you can go on a day when they are grinding this is an absolutely fabulous, and intriguing historical site!

Quaint mill exhibit a minute or two off Rt113. The volunteer staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Our group throughly enjoyed it.
