Younglove's mill began flour milling production on the site. Unfortunately the original mill burned down around 1788. In 1825, retired general Nathan Cooper purchased the 4.5 acres of land and rebuilt the mill, constructing a four-story random fieldstone gristmill to replace the 1760s structure.This new mill could grind up to 10 tons per day of wheat, corn, and other grains. In 1826, Nathan Cooper gave the property to his adult nephew, Nathan A. Cooper, who had become a NJ cavalry general 2 years before.Original file name 32009875693_598223b672_o.jpg4323x2882Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
