Stony Brook Grist Mill
Stony Brook Grist Mill, Historic watermill in Stony Brook, United States.
The Stony Brook Grist Mill contains fully operational grinding equipment, wooden gears, and millstones that demonstrate traditional grain processing methods from the colonial period.
Built in 1751, this mill served as the primary grain processing facility for local farmers until the 1940s, contributing to Long Island's agricultural development.
The mill became a central meeting point where residents exchanged information and Polish immigrant Alois Kopriva performed violin music during grain processing sessions.
Guided tours of the mill operate on Saturdays and Sundays from May through November between noon and 4:30 PM, with admission fees of $3 for adults.
During the late 1800s, the mill processed Catawba grapes from a nearby vineyard into wine, which was then bottled in Brooklyn for distribution.
