Red Mill Museum Village

At the Red Mill Museum Village, our vision is to connect current generations to the past as well as to one another. We uphold our mission of preserving, maintaining and presenting the social, agricultural, and industrial heritage of the area through hands-on experiences that turn visitors into makers. By preserving tools as living teaching objects and telling the stories of those who made, used and collected them, we highlight how creativity and skill once sustained daily life through community.

The museum’s centerpiece is the 1810 Red Mill, originally built as a woolen mill. The 12 historic buildings on our 10-acre site include limekilns, a limestone quarry, schoolhouse, log cabin, two-family Tenant House and operational blacksmith shop.

Throughout the year, the museum offers a variety of educational exhibits, and immersive programming designed to keep the enduring value of skilled handwork and shared heritage alive.
