Newlin Grist Mill and its collection

Newlin Grist Mill
Source

The Newlin Mill Complex, also known as The Newlin Grist Mill, is a significant historical site in Concord Township, Pennsylvania. The water-powered gristmill was built in 1704 by Nathaniel and Mary Newlin and remained in commercial operation until 1941. This long history of operation gives the mill a unique place in the local history and makes it a fascinating site for visitors interested in historical architecture and industrial heritage.

Current Use of The Newlin Mill Complex

In 1958, E. Mortimer Newlin purchased the mill property, restored it, and donated it to the Nicholas Newlin Foundation for use as a historical park. The mill still uses water power to grind corn meal, which is sold on site. This offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness a functioning historical mill and even purchase the corn meal produced there.
