This is a lovely location in the summer and the folks who run the Mill are very informative in their information and subsequent displays. I did not want to go up to the top floor but when at my husbands insistence but it felt uncomfortable to me. We found out after the fact that folks had seen the ghost of a young woman who died there. Oh oh! lol
