Clifton Mill

Historic Clifton Mill is one of the largest water powered grist mills still in existence. The first mill at this site was built in 1802 by Owen Davis, a Revolutionary War soldier and frontiersman miller. Come visit the mill in person. It will be an enjoyable and educational experience you will long remember. Tour the inner workings of the mill to see first hand one of Americas earliest industries. On display inside Clifton Mill is a collection of over 300 flour bags from mills around the country. Many of these bags are over 100 years old and are beautiful, colorful examples of some of America's first advertising practices. Outside at Clifton Mill you can experience first hand one of this country’s disappearing treasures, the covered bridge.
