I've been visiting this grist mill for 35 years or so. When my kids were young it was an exciting place to visit, and the mill wheel ran often. Now it seems tired and needs refurbished. The walkway that crosses over the mill run must have collapsed because it was blocked off with red warning tape. There weren't many visitors at the mill, and I never saw the wheel turning. Considering
it is a state historical site it seems that it should be kept in better shape.
We stopped and got the walk of the place unencumbered. We got a real feel of the place and enjoyed the peace and quiet . We had the place to ourselves and enjoyed every minute. I recommend you visit Monday or Tuesday while the town is abandon.
Wonderful way to learn about the past. You can even buy some of the cornmeal for cooking. We love taking the kids then making muffins with the meal when we get back home.
Very interesting and learned the history of grist mills from a really nice friendly man running the mill.
quaint. nice to show kids ways of the past. The mill doesnt take long, but it is different than what you normally would see when holiday shopping.
The mill is a small part of the Metamora experience. The train ride and quaint shops make for a fun day. Christmas time is really great.
