Review Water Mill Square - Water Mill

Great stop along the way east. We enjoyed the quilt show that takes place seasonally in addition to the permanent collection. What stood out most was a memorial wall to local military and paramilitary servicemembers from the local area. If you enjoy history plan to visit!

It's amazing!!! The mill is still crankin!!!! It's a small museum but it holds a lot of history. I'm new to the area and it was a treasure to finally visit. It's a quick visit but you could easily make it an hour long. Take your time, read the pieces. It's worth it if you're a lover of historical stuff.

transcendental artist Agnes Pelton lived in the Hayground Watermill from 1921-1925'ish, she wrote that it was 'cold, drafty, poorly insulated' but that she 'loved it, felt contented, and happy' while there. she must be my kindred spirit!

Unfortunately the day I was here it was closed Tuesday. The mill was built 1644, and was the first watermill. From the outside does look impressive and unfortunately was closed when I was there.

Great little museum chock full of history. Got to meet one of the conservators working on the place.

I love this place. I went there on a field trip in 1975. I finally had a chance to go back.

This is a small 3 room museum with something for the kids, the adults, the engineers, the historians, and the artists. Admittance is free. My kids enjoyed learning about the working of the water mill and the nearby wind mill. My wife enjoyed the history, and I enjoyed the art on display. The staff was super helpful. Masks were still required as of July 2021.

Very interesting historical exhibits. I especially liked learning about commercial ice harvesting in late 1800s. When we visited there was a quilt exhibit which was also amazing.

Museum is closed until May 2023. A lot of history around

Beautiful place, very historical and they have painting and photography exhibits
