Newlin Mill Complex, Historic gristmill in Concord Township, US
The Newlin Mill Complex features a water-powered gristmill on Chester Creek with its original dam and operational mill race from the colonial period.
Built in 1704 by Nathaniel and Mary Newlin on land purchased from William Penn, the mill operated commercially until 1941, grinding grains for local communities.
The five historical buildings within the 150-acre woodland park demonstrate early American industrial practices and Pennsylvania's agricultural development during colonial times.
Visitors can purchase freshly ground cornmeal produced using traditional water-powered methods while exploring the restored mill machinery and educational exhibits.
The mill retains its original French grindstone and continues to use water power from Chester Creek, maintaining colonial-era milling techniques for public demonstration.
