Carolee Michener writing for a newspaper states that the Mill was never out of use since it was erected in 1875. She characterized the 1989 renovation as designed to keep the Mill works intact but utilize the space available for visits from tourists, shops and food. She says Twig will continue to operate the hardware store Emco Mills, which was on Main street. At this time the millers house, Amy’s Closet, was still part of the Mill. They expected an ice cream parlor to open shortly. (I believe that was in the other main street storefront.)
