Old Schwamb Mill is a historic mill located in Arlington, Massachusetts. The mill was built in 1861 and has been producing wooden picture frames continuously since its inception. It is the oldest continuously operating mill in the United States.

The mill is a three-story brick building with a wooden frame on top. It is situated on Mill Brook, which powered the mill in its early years. The mill was constructed using local materials, including timber from the surrounding forests and bricks made from clay dug up from the nearby Spy Pond.

The mill is filled with antique machinery used to produce the picture frames, including lathes, saws, and planers. The frames are made from a variety of woods, including cherry, walnut, and mahogany. The frames are still produced by hand, and the mill prides itself on its traditional craftsmanship.

Today, the mill is open to the public for tours and has a small museum on the ground floor. Visitors can see the antique machinery in action and learn about the history of the mill and its production of picture frames. The mill is also available for special events, such as weddings and corporate functions. It is a unique and historic attraction in the town of Arlington and a testament to traditional craftsmanship and the importance of preserving history.
