The Water Mill Museum

Small but interesting historical museum in a 350 year old grist mill, which you can still see operating. Attended annual quilt exhibition/sale in August which is always nice to see if you're a quilt lover. Nice place to visit for a short stop when going out east. There are two floors - no elevator.

Great stop along the way east. We enjoyed the quilt show that takes place seasonally in addition to the permanent collection. What stood out most was a memorial wall to local military and paramilitary servicemembers from the local area. If you enjoy history plan to visit!

Unfortunately the day I was here it was closed Tuesday. The mill was built 1644, and was the first watermill. From the outside does look impressive and unfortunately was closed when I was there.

I love this place. I went there on a field trip in 1975. I finally had a chance to go back.

Highly recommend visiting this museum and witness the amazing history

It's amazing!!! The mill is still crankin!!!! It's a small museum but it holds a lot of history. I'm new to the area and it was a treasure to finally visit. It's a quick visit but you could easily make it an hour long. Take your time, read the pieces. It's worth it if you're a lover of historical stuff.

This is a small 3 room museum with something for the kids, the adults, the engineers, the historians, and the artists. Admittance is free. My kids enjoyed learning about the working of the water mill and the nearby wind mill. My wife enjoyed the history, and I enjoyed the art on display. The staff was super helpful. Masks were still required as of July 2021.

Very interesting historical exhibits. I especially liked learning about commercial ice harvesting in late 1800s. When we visited there was a quilt exhibit which was also amazing.
