Tranquility Grist/Roller Mills, aka Kennedy's Mill on the Pequest River in the community of Tranquility south of Andover, N.J., was built by Amos Kennedy.

The mill is situated in a pleasant grove of trees along the Pequest, back a gravel road off Cr 611 on Private Property. Please ask at the mill to photograph and explore the mill property.

Tranquility NJ Mill in 1905.

The mill, owned by the Jim & Maryann Kissane family, is now their residence. Living quarters are equally shared with two sets of stones, a flour packer, wooden enclosed bucket elevators, belts and hoppers, all original equipment and many operational.

The mill reflected in the Pequest River from the bridge on Cr 611. A steam engine kept this mill running 24 hour a day, keeping up with business demand, even in draught conditions when other mills were forced to tempoarily shut down.

Milldam and spillway on the Pequest behind the mill. The mill operated just through World War II, then was converted into a private residence in 1947. Notice the letters on the side proclaiming, "Tranquility Mills".

The mill headrace comes off the river above the dam tp the gate and barscreen just prior to entering the mill, last powered by a 25 hp turbine that also provided electricity to the mill.

The upper floor was added in 1869. The mill was converted to rollers, which are still in place in an unused and undeveloped section of the residence. A cider press is also part of the complex.
