Description
The Mill at Anselma stands as the most complete known example of a custom grain mill in the United States. It illustrates the impact of changing technology on the mill industry over the course of three centuries, and celebrates Chester County’s pivotal role as the breadbasket of colonial America.
Milling demonstrations are offered on a monthly basis, and offer family-friendly, hands-on activities. Kids of all ages can assist the miller with sifting flour, pump water over a miniature water wheel, or experience our new Education Lab, which teaches visitors about the history of Pennsylvania agriculture and the simple machines that make up the complex Mill!
The Market at the Mill features weekly children’s activities on the green, with a focus on sustainable agriculture education and the active promotion of school gardens, farm-to-school, and whole food nutrition. We believe that education and hands-on experiences are the only way to preserve Chester County’s local farms, farmlands, and farming as a way of life.
