The year was 1823 when this mill came to life. Judge Charles Kellogg built this mill and in 1947 the mill was sold to the Weed Family. Ever since then, the mill has been in this family’s operation. New Hope Mills has been around for over 190 years. Isn’t that incredible!

It was so cool to walk around and see the mills! Seeing a piece of history was awesome.
