Wile Carding Mill

Wile Carding Mill

. The mill is now operated as a museum.

This water-powered mill was owned and operated by the Wile family from 1860 to 1968. The Wiles ran the mill but employed a number of workers, usually unmarried women, to operate the machinery. The mill was powered by a 7 horsepower (5 kW) overshot waterwheel using the water of Shady Brook, a tributary of the Lahave River.
