Weston Mill

Heinrich/Henry Schenck built a grist mill on the Millstone here, probably in the 1740s. The second owner of the mill was Abraham Van Neste, from 1771-1797.

When William Rodgers owned the mill between 1823 and 1843, he changed the name to Weston, purportedly to reflect the name used at the time for an area across the river from the mill.

Wilbur Smith was the last owner of the original mill from 1925 until 1982 when it fell into the river. He had worked for many years in an attempt to save the old mill but, after it collapsed, it was determined that it was beyond repair and now considered a flood hazard. There were plans to salvage parts of the historic structure but before the group had a chance to do much work, vandals set the mill on fire, destroying it.

All that remains in the area once known as Weston are a few residences and several roads bearing the name.
