Jenney Grist Mill

Jenney Grist Mill

The Jenney Grist Mill is a working grist mill located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It is a reconstruction of the original Jenney Grist Mill, and it stands on the site of the original mill.

History

John Jenney came to America from Leyden in 1623 on the "Little James". The original Jenney Grist Mill was built in Plymouth Colony by John Jenney in 1636, and was run by him until his death in 1644. After his death, his wife Sarah and son Samuel continued to run the mill until Stockbridge took over the mill for legal reasons. The mill burned down in 1837.

In 1970, the mill was rebuilt in on its original site on the Town Brook. Today visitors can view corn gridings, visit an ice cream shop, take a tour of Plymouth, see the mill working, and learn about the lives of the Jenneys.
