Get a genuine taste of the past at this operating grist mill. Once a month, volunteer Millers grind locally grown grains just as farmers did three centuries ago. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the demonstrations and tours, and visitors can purchase Anselma’s own stone-ground whole wheat flour and cornmeal.

Visitors are free to walk the grounds year-round, watching wildlife or just picnicking with the family. In winter, the grounds are also a favorite among cross country skiers and snowshoers. In the summer, the Mill plays host to a Wednesday afternoon Farmers and Artisans Market.
