Newlin Grist Mill

The Newlin Grist Mill and the surrounding 160-acre park is a place for exploration of both history and the environment. It features a working grist mill, public programs, and over 8 miles of nature trails. Whether you are involved in preservation, education, outdoor recreation, or just relaxing, there is something for you.

Newlin Grist Mill is maintained by the Nicolas Newlin Foundation, which was created in 1960 by E. Mortimer & Elizabeth Newlin.

The purpose of the Nicholas Newlin Foundation is to preserve its land and its historic buildings for the pleasure and education of the public. In an area of urban growth, the Foundation maintains open land as a refuge for plants, animals, and birds, and for the people who come to enjoy them. In this era of digital technology, it offers visitors insights into the vanished life of the rural eighteenth century. This two-fold objective of environmental and historical concerns is combined in a single theme wherever possible. Following the ideals of its founder, E. Mortimer Newlin, the Foundation will strive to enhance its service to the public, while securing its future by managing its finances wisely.
