Winthrop Mill, Historic watermill at Mill Street in New London, Connecticut, US.
The gambrel-roofed mill building spans 30 by 60 feet with horizontal boarding and contains a waterwheel connected to an elevated wooden penstock.
Governor John Winthrop Jr. and William Comstock established this grist mill in 1650, which later experienced damage during Benedict Arnold's raid in 1781.
The mill represents early American industrial development, demonstrating the essential role of water-powered technology in colonial New England communities.
While the mill grounds remain open daily for public visits, interior tours require special arrangements through the New London city administration.
The mill retains original infrastructure elements including the elevated flume, wheel pit, and tail race dating back to its 17th-century construction.
