Blairstown Mill
Exit NJ 94 onto Carhart St. in Blairstown, N.J. and go 2-3 blocks to Main Street. The mill/city library is at the junction.
A rugged 3.5 story stone grist mill measuring about 40'X 60' built in a Renasance style. Has been the City of Blairstown Library for quite some time.
The original appearance of the 1825 mill with its 1855 wooden addition to the right.
The reservior to the right and up some steps along with the mill headrace have been incorporated into a city park. The reservior is known as Blair Lake with Blair Creek flowing both into and out of the lake to feed the mill when it was in operation. Need help on this one as to years of operation and general history.
