3 stories of
post and beam construction built on the site of an 1858 mill
which burned in 1862. French Buhr stone was used for milling until
about 1900, when steel rollers were installed. Later a
Midget Marvel was installed. The mill is listed
on the National Register of Historic
Places in 1979. The mill is currently being restored
by Organ State Parks & Recreation Department. Boston
Mill Society is a Friends Group of volunteers working with
the Park to restore and manage the Thomspson's Mills Site. |
