Welcome
WELCOME to the website for the Mill at Freedom Falls. We are happy that you looked us up. Our hope in producing this site is that it will lead other people to appreciate the beauty and the utility of the old water-driven mills that were so prevalent in the northeast, serving as the focal points for their communities; and to inspire others to consider this kind of project elsewhere. Additionally, we hope to find a tenant (or tenants) who might wish to occupy this beautiful site and take advantage of the non-polluting hydropower that this mill will generate.
The idea to restore the Mill, built as a grist mill in 1834, germinated several years ago. Research began in 2008; in April of 2012 the Mill was entered in the Register of Historic Places (#12000228), and on-the-ground rehabilitation began in May 2012. The rehabilitation will be completed by the end of 2012, and the building will be ready for occupancy shortly thereafter.
We have attempted to give you some insight into the history of this particular mill and its recent rehabilitation. If you have further questions about the Mill or the project, please click here to contact us and please take a look at our blog which chronicles the rehabilitation process.
