A mill has occupied this site on John Robinson's land grant of 1657, sold to Edward King, then John Carter, since 1666. The "Great Mill" of John's son, Robert, fell to Robert's son, Charles, who petitioned the court authority in 1783, to rebuild. Many owners and changes after this can be reviewed at the above web link.

The 30'X 40' 3.5 story frame structure with brick foundation/basement with dirt floor operated chiefly from 1843-1872 as a stone ground mill. Since 1872, the original set of French buhrs used in the original 1666 mill, has still ground corn meal; but, the wheat grinding has been alocated to the roller process. As with most mid-19th century mills, the mill was the center piece of the community, not only grinding grain for farmers miles around; but, serving as a source of livestock feed, stock medicine, buying and trading other farm and household commodities, and local news.

The mill was purchased in 1998 by Kendall Acors after about a score of years negotiations. Much restoration work has been accomplished since then, with much more remaining. Those wishing to become involved in some way with the effort can check the web link above for more restoration information and how to contact Mr. Acors at The Old Mill Foundation.
