Phil recently took a drive up to the Red Mill Museum Village in Clinton, NJ and met with Gina Sampaio, the Director of this organization.

If you have never been to this historic site, you may recognize it from photos as it is presented with the large red barn like structure with a water wheel, overlooking a river and waterfall. It’s an iconic photo seen on calendars and marketing and promotion material for the state of New Jersey.

The Red Mill Village is an historic complex centered around this mill from 1810 and situated on 10 acres of land of various historic buildings and exhibits. Clinton NJ is a quant town of shops, restaurants, activities all four seasons and is always listed in the top small towns to visit within NJ. You can find more detailed information on their website TheRedMill.org and to help plan your visit. Check this website for upcoming events since the dates and times often change.

Gina took some time out of her busy day to provide Phil with a walking tour, not only of the Red Mill but of the many other buildings, as well as explaining the many events held there throughout the year. It’s definitely a destination for you individually or as a group.
