Plimoth Grist Mill on Town Brook in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a working reconstruction of the Plymouth colonists' 1636 water-powered mill, showing how diverted brook water drives the 14-foot wheel and the historic millstones that grind corn into meal, flour and sampe. Visitors watch millers coordinate the wheel, gears and stones on grinding days, explore hands-on exhibits about water power and simple machines, and learn about the river herring that migrate past the mill each spring. The mill produces stone-ground grains for local farms, restaurants, and public sale, linking early colonial technology with today's regional grain economy. A short walk along Town Brook leads to Plymouth Rock, Mayflower II and Burial Hill, placing the mill within the town's historic landscape. - AsNotedIn
