ClassGraphic The Samuel E. Perry Grist Mill is a rare survivor from among the thousands of grist mills that once dotted the New England landscape. It is the oldest continually operating grist mill in Rhode Island and it may be the last in the state to operate using waterpower. Learn how the grist mill has served as a focal point in South County agrarian culture for over 300 years, bringing countless families together in the spirit of community. You’ll also learn the story of the white cap flint corn and how it connected generations and cultures to the land.
