Wayside Inn Grist Mill - Hop Brook Side

Long exposure shot of Longfellow's Wayside Inn Olde Grist Mill, in Sudbury, MA. The Grist Mill is the first working mill to be built as a museum. Commissioned by Henry Ford and designed by renowned hydraulic engineer J.B. Campbell of Philadelphia, work on the Mill began in 1924 by local workmen preparing the waterway from Grist Mill Pond. Built in the style of mills that operated in the Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania and in the Midlands area of England, the mill operates with millstones imported from France and high-quality 18th century milling machinery purchased by Ford’s antiques buyers.
