"survived through five epochs of change:
Pioneer grist mill, cotton mill, woolen mill, abandoned ruin, and now a distinctive restaurant."
"Reynolds began building a grist mill and he, as well as others began building houses and clearing the land for farming. The small colony was obliged to halt operations to stage a big shooting offensive against bears that raided the settlement making it too dangerous to start farming. The Grist Mill was completed in 1792, and the grinding stones used in the mill were similar to the grinding stone, weighing about 1500 pounds, now located on the terrace of the restaurant."
