GREENBANK MILL

WILMINGTON, DE

Greenbank Mill is a historic site in Wilmington, Delaware that is owned and operated by the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs. It has been used as a gristmill, a paper mill, and a cotton mill since its construction in 1797.

Greenbank Mill is an example of the 18th century industrial revolution that occurred in the United States. It was built by Robert Porter, a millwright, and is one of the oldest mills in the United States. The mill is powered by a water wheel that is fed by the Brandywine Creek, and it is the oldest continuously-operating water wheel in the country.

The mill is a two-story stone building with a steep gabled roof and a small cupola. It is constructed of local stone and has been restored to its original condition. The interior of the mill is filled with milling equipment that dates back to the early 19th century.

Greenbank Mill is located in a park setting and is surrounded by walking trails and gardens. Visitors can take a tour of the mill and learn about its history, as well as visit the adjacent museum of early industrial artifacts. The mill is open for special events throughout the year, such as family days, concerts, and holiday celebrations.

Greenbank Mill is a unique reminder of Delaware's industrial past, and is a popular attraction for visitors looking to experience a piece of history.
