In Medfield, along MA Route 27, is the Kingsbury Mill, a restored grist mill, which has a half-buried millstone nearby.
The mill is on the east side of Route 27, and is easily visible from the road. There is a sign that shows the name of the mill. Parking is an issue around the mill. There is room for one or two cars by the mill. Parking along Route 27 is dangerous. The next best place is the nearby church.
The mill was originally built about 1819, and was restored in the 1990s; though I don't know whether it is 'fully' restored (in working order). The millstone could have been used by the mill, but I don't have verifcation of that. The millstone is placed vertically and half-buried at a location just to the left of the mill, by an entrance to a path that runs down a slope to the grassy area behind the building.
Type of mill: Water Mill
What did this millstone make?: corn flour
