Closed for the Winter

Hixson/Skinner Mill Complex (Cole's Mill)

This early nineteenth century, three-and-a-half-story, masonry and frame building is located on Still Valley Road. It is on Pohatcong Creek, one-half mile east of the village of Springtown. Included in the 2.5-acre site are the mill itself, its head and tail race, the miller's house and a guest house and garage, as well as a small pony pratt bridge. Alterations or additions were made to the mill in the mid-nineteenth century and in 1968. This water-powered site had been in use since the eighteenth century and is still operating, although it now uses electrical power. The water powered works and the equipment and machinery are well preserved.
