Old Mill

The Old Mill was built in Revolutionary times. And you can still see the wheel mechanism that ground wheat for Revolutionary soldiers. It was also where the last witch trial in New York was held. The witch was known as Naut Kanniff. The people weigher her against the Bible but she was heavier. In those days if you were heavier than the Bible you were not a witch. So she was not a witch.
