Moffett Mill

Taken after a fresh dusting of snow, this image begged for a nostalgic black & white treatment. Built by George Olney along Great Road, Lincoln RI in 1812, the Moffett Mill is a unique survivor from the early 19th century. Resting along the Moshassuck River next to Chase Farm, this small mill is believed to be the first machine shop constructed in Rhode Island and is a rare example of a wooden mill built during the first wave of industrialization in the Blackstone Valley.
