• Learn about the mills of Delaware County at the Newlin Grist Mill. In partnership with the Delaware County Planning Department, Newlin Grist Mill opened this temporary exhibit at the beginning of May. It offers visitors a glimpse into the region’s early industrial history and helps the public understand what a mill is, how it works, and what it makes. The exhibit features numerous photographs of local mills, archaeological materials from Newlin Grist Mill’s excavations, artifacts on loan from other local organizations and individuals, and maps showing the locations of numerous mills in Delaware County at different periods in time. The “Mills of Delaware County” exhibit runs through the end of the year and can be viewed free of charge during regular Visitor Center hours (9 a.m-4 p.m. daily). For more information about Newlin Grist Mill, visit the website or call 610-459-2359.
