Abbott's Mill is a historic site that includes an old grist mill in Sussex County, Delaware, 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Milford.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 with a 0.4-acre (0.16 ha) area. The listed area was increased in 1979 to include a total of 4 contributing buildings, with an increase of a 9-acre (3.6 ha) area. The increased area includes a Gothic style work built in 1868.[1]
There's a historical marker for the old mill, placed on the north side of Abbotts Pond Road (County Road 620), across from Abbotts Pond.[3]
There's an Abbott's Mill Nature Center which offers tours of a grist mill and rolling mill.[4]
In the site's 1972 NRHP nomination, it was reported the grist mill had been operable until 1960, and that plans were for it to be restored.[5]
The listing was expanded in 1979 to include a total of 8.5 acres, including other buildings and open space.[6]
