The Bloomsbury Grist and Saw Mill was built just within the borough along the Musconetcong River. The 3.5 story frame mill, of 40'X 55'proportions, has a stone foundation, slate roof, and an ornamental cupola. It was proably built in the late 1800's. The stave mill closed in 1914. In 1758, Captain Benjamin McCullough owned the mill and a few close-by farms, having married the Widow Henry, the survivor of the former owner, William Henry.
