Strimbles Grist & Saw Mill
From Stockton Boro., travel north on NJ 29 for 2.5 miles turning right onto Federal Twist Rd. for 1.3 miles. Turn right again onto Strimples Mill Rd. and go about 1 mile to mill on left across the steel bridge.
Strimbles Mill is frame grist mill, of 30'x40' footprint and 2.5 stories in height of unpainted boarding. The attached saw mill is about 15'x60' and 1 story high right next to the bridge. Another name for the mill is Strumpius Saw Mill on the Lockatong Creek. Click on the website listed , then click on Lickatong Creek in the selections presented.
At the time of visit in Oct. 1987, two oak logs 30 inches in diameter and 20 feet long were laying out in front of the grist mill. Also a stack of newly cut lumber was by the saw mill and the bridge. The miller's house is across the road.
Found this nice old mill while riding on Strimples Mill Road near Stockton, NJ in September 2012. The sign, in the shape of a saw blade, says "Strimples Mill Custom Sawing".
This water wheel was leaning against the hill next to Strimples Mill.
Looks like Strimples Mill is still in use as there were logs next to the mill and there were some also stacked across the street.
