I visited the mill and museum with my two teen daughters. We loved the tour and variety of pictures and books to look through. Great Sunday afternoon activity for a family.

We had toured the mill several years ago. It is nice to see they are still in business. This is a true treasure to illustrate the progression of engineering technologies. I highly recommend the visit.

Interesting but I've been to more interesting places. It is a good place to stop and stretch your legs if you're on a 'road trip', as we were at the time. Inexpensive.

Good place to fish, have a picnic on the North part of the park. Or, just sit on the sand bank and just listen to nature while watching the water flow by.
