Today the Mill attracts tourists interested in its part in the history of the United States (Easton Express, 1967). It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and also houses the nation’s second-oldest post office. Described by the Philadelphia Inquirer as “the centerpiece of the village,” the Mill is owned by Durham Township. Once renovations are completed, the township may consider plans to offer it as a venue for cultural, educational and recreational events.

WHERE WE ARE TODAY:

Thanks to local and national support, we are making progress in our restoration efforts. The cleanup of the tail race was completed in fall 2018. We are now laying plans for replanting native species grasses there. Work has also begun on making the Mill structure more ADA compliant, including an ADA approved restroom.

Other current initiatives include evaluating proposals for window replacements and engaging the services of an engineer to assess what needs to be done to stabilize the metal walkway around the Mill’s water wheel.
