Mill & Museum Tours
Antique machinery related to the mill’s history is exhibited on three floors of the building. The mill stones, broom making equipment, printing press, and dog powered butter churn are on the first level. The country store, player piano, and weaving exhibit room are on the second floor. Hand looms, spinning wheels and a rare collection of 19th century power looms and wool carding machines are on display. The third floor has the 60 foot long spinning mule and 100 year old graffiti.
Falls Mill is open to the public for tours from 9 -4 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from April through November. Visitors start with an introductory video of the history of the mill, then take a self-guided tour through the building and scenic grounds. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The second and third floors are not handicapped accessible but the video shows these areas. Dress warmly during the cooler months as the mill building is not heated.
