The Edisonville Mill operated as a grist mill for about 150 years before it was converted to generate electricity for the surrounding area. In the latter part of the 20th century it was the home of the Eagle Gun Museum. Today it has been refurbished into a wedding venue called The Olde Village Mill (www.oldevillagemill.com).
