Benjamin Warne's widow, Hannah McKinney Warne, built this stone grist mill to replace an earlier frame mill built by Benjamin, who died in 1810. Mill has also been known as the Nichodemus Warne's Mill c. 1866. Since 1935, the property has been in the Sigler family ownership.

In 1845, some water was diverted from the Morris Canal which was breached through a millrace. The mill operated by using a tub wheel better suited for low flows of water. French burr stones contributed to the grinding process.

It is located on a picturesque dairy farm, complete with house, barns and sundry outbuildings. The 3.5 story fieldstone mill's dimensions are close to 35'x45'. The stone arch at the lower right indicates that it was at one time water-powered by Mill Brook, a small brooklet, as the archway was either the inlet or outlet.
