THE STORY

Narrated · Plays hands-free in Travel Mode
Thomas Dexter began building gristmills on this site in 1637, and the mill here today began operating about 1654. Early settlers of Sandwich brought their corn to the grist mill to be ground into meal, their most important food. The mill was restored in 1961.
