Harvest Festival at Newlin Grist Mill

For a free event, history in any form is worth every moment. For a harvest festival at Newlin Grist Mill it’s a whole other experience.

As described on the Newlin Grist Mill site:

Historic demonstrators and craftsmen arrive at Newlin Grist Mill to demonstrate the sights sounds and smells of 18th century life. Smell the first of a wood-burning bake oven with Blue Hen Bakers, watch open hearth cooks work over an open fire, hear the sounds of iron pounding in the blacksmith shop, and have your own silhouette made. Enjoy the sounds or period harp and mandolin music or catch a performance of 18th century acapella music by The Colonial Revelers.

We enjoyed all of this thanks to Nathaniel and Mary Newlin, who in 1704, built a water-powered grist mill along the West Branch of Chester Creek.
