Planning Begins for Thwing Mill Use-

In 2002 the Historical Society received the Thwing Mill as a gift from Greg Wilson. Last operated by Charlie and Mary Thwing for 58 years, the mill closed shortly before Charlie's death in 1946.

There is overwhelming excitement for the mill's potential to enhance our mission of education, preservation, and fostering respect for the town's history. Now that the gift has been accepted, we enter a second phase of project development -- engaging prospective supporters in preparing a plan for use that can be phased in as funds allow.

If you are interested in participating with the further development of a plan or simply supporting the project, please contact Lyssa Papazian.
