The Friends of the Souther Tide Mill in Quincy, Massachusetts, hosted an open house at the mill Saturday, October 20, 2018. This is first time the mill has been open for visits for many years. Curious visitors included mill enthusiasts, families with children and history stakeholders.
The Friends have great plans for the interpretation of the mill. Their special problem is that the mill is owned by the City of Quincy, and all decisions on work to be done must be approved by city officials. They have prepared an application for a National Register listing, but they have been waiting for city officials to sign off before submitting it. They hope the recognition the mill will receive by being listed on the National Register will spur further donations. They hope to install electric service in the near future.
Very Interesting to see the restoration of Souther Mill. Hope to visit sometime.
Question: What part, if any, did the Quincy Canal play in logistic support and/or operation of the Souther Mill?
