Newlin Grist Mill Park Attraction Details
Newlin Grist Mill Park
http://www.newlingristmill.org
The Newlin Grist Mill, a 1704 grist mill and 150-acre park, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only operating water-powered, colonial grist mill open to the public in the United States.

Nicholas Newlin, a Quaker who obtained a 500-acre grant from William Penn, brought his family to Pennsylvania from Ireland and built two water-powered mills along Chester Creek. The mill at Newlin Grist Mill is actually a third structure built in 1704 by Nathaniel Newlin, Nicholas' son. This mill was operated by Nathaniel Newlin's descendants until 1817 as a commercial mill grinding wheat, corn, oats, buckwheat and rye.

The mill was in operation until 1941 and the original dam and mill race are still supplying power to the mill today. The mill's interior gears and machinery have been reconstructed to 1750 operation and are fully functional. You can watch corn being ground as it was in Colonial times.
