Water Mill

The Water Mill structure features a traditional wheel mechanism that converts flowing water into mechanical power for grinding grains and processing materials.

During the colonial period, this mill played a central role in local agriculture by processing grains for farmers throughout the surrounding New York region.

The mill represents early American industrial innovation and serves as an educational center for demonstrating traditional grain processing methods to modern visitors.

Visitors can observe the operational mechanisms of the mill during scheduled demonstrations, which occur regularly throughout the spring and summer months.

The mill maintains its original wooden gearing system and stone grinding wheels, allowing it to function using the same methods as in its early operational days.
