Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site
The original 3,600 acres at Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site included an elegant home, fruit-drying shed, smokehouse, brick kiln, sawmill, gristmill, three-story mill and acres of orchards and croplands with a nearby brick schoolhouse and church. Many of the original buildings have been restored with livestock and plants re-introduced to create an 1870 living history farm.
