The sign outside the Red Mill Museum reads as follows: "The Red Mill circa 1810, over the years processed wool, grist, talc, plaster, and graphite. Its river water power also later generated electricity. Its limestone quarry here was mined from the 1800's up until 1963."

I have wanted to visit this quaint and charming little town for some time and yesterday I finally did. The Raritan River runs through the town. You need to cross a one lane iron bridge, built in 1870, to enter the town. The town is full of little boutique shops and restaurants and every business was beautifully decorated for the fall season.
