New London, CT 2014
This mill is a little hard to find and seems very out of place tucked away beneath some major overpasses where it is hidden from view. The founder of New London, John Winthrop Jr built the town's first mill on this site in 1650. It has been rebuilt many times since then. It was burned when Benedict Arnold's troops burned New London on September 6, 1781. It became a popular tourist destination in the late 1800's and remained in operation well into the 20th Century.
