MILL SITES
The history of the six "mills" in what is known today as the village of Marstons Mills is rich with information about the early years of manufacturing of different kinds in America; the sites described are reflections of similar industries elsewhere and form a useful account for the naming of the village in spite of the fact that the physical evidence of these businesses is virtually non-existent.
​

An interested person, however, may take a walking and driving tour to see where the businesses were located in the past.
