Description
Owned and operated by the Hanford family since 1860, the mill steadily grew into a small industrial complex. Powered by Kortight Creek, buildings housed a sawmill, feed mill, grist mill and woodworking shop. The Handfords also sold hardware from the site and provided East Meredith with electric power by the turn of the century. The four story mill building dates back to the mid 1800s, with additions enlarging the complex up through the 1890s. Although the mill closed in 1967, it reopened as a museum that same year. Able to retain its original equipment and supporting structures, the family is proud of its ability to offer an authentic look at 19th century water powered mill complex.
