In Hart Square, parts of two old water mills, circa 1760, were used to reconstruct this 18th-century grist mill, which was operational until 1957. The grist mill was one of the most important businesses in early settlements. Settlements frequently appeared as a direct result of the existence of a grist mill. The importance was due to the fact that this was where people brought their corn and grain to be processed, two foodstuffs that were staples of life then as well as now.
