This coming summer and fall, the public can tour the Van Wyck-Lefferts tide mill in Huntington, Long Island, N.Y. A total of 13 more tours are being offered in 2022. The next tour is Monday, June 13, and the last tour of the season will be October 25.
The Van Wyck-Lefferts mill is the best preserved 18th century U.S. tide-powered grist mill known to remain in its original location. It is also one of only two remaining U.S. tide mills with machinery and millstones intact. The site is maintained by the Van Wyck-Lefferts Tide Mill Sanctuary, Inc., who is continuing its multi-year fundraising and restoration campaign for the mill building and dam.
The mill site is accessible only by water, making it necessary to take visitors to the mill by boat. The tours are being offered by the Huntington Historical Society in partnership with the Tide Mill Sanctuary.
For more information about the tours and instructions for registering, visit the Huntington Historical Society website.
