They were used to grind grain, saw wood, full cloth, tan hides, weave fabric and make paper. Water mills or windmills appeared in every colonial settlement. The story of this water mill begins in 1640 when a group of English colonists came to Southampton. The mill was built in 1644. It has been used for many purposes throughout its history.  In 1968 a project to restore the mill as a museum began and this historic grist mill was grinding grain once again in time for the 1976 bicentennial.  History of the Water Mill Raffle Quilts 1976 - 2006   Contemporary red, white & soft blue Pinwheel design
