Reviews
This is a fascinating historical place now owned and operated by a non-profit dedicated to preserving the 19th century buildings, machinery, skills, business records and sense of place. As a bonus, the mill contains a small art gallery and hosts musical performances and gallery and historical talks.

Old Schwamb Mill, site circa 1650, current complete structure c. 1861. Old Schwamb Mill is the nations oldest continuously operating mill site.. Originally a gristmill, this has been a workingplace since 1650. Its documented history of operation dates back to about 1684. It was bought by Charles & Frederick Schwamb, two brothers from Rhinehessen, Germany, in 1864 when it would become an Oval Photo Frame shop. They set up this state-of-the-art woodworking shop, combining water power from the Mill Brook with an 18 foot diameter water wheel & a belt-driven pulley-operated system of machines to produce the highest quality oval & circular frames. During the Civil War era, photography became extremely popular as many families wanted portraits of their loved ones who may never return. A particular favourite of many clients was a rich black Walnut oval frame. with delicate gold leafed liner. Schwamb Mill frames hung in hundreds of thousands of American mansions, farmhouses, &even lonely prairie sod huts. this original collection of Moulding knives dating back to 1870 was curated by the Smithsonian; they were so impressed they even tried to purchase them ! the Mill has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1971.
