The Red Mill In Clinton, NJ
Ralph Hunt built the earliest section of this Mill to process wool sometime around 1810. From 1828 to 1834 John Bray and John B. Taylor took over running the Woolen Mill. The Taylors, now the dominant merchant family, changed the name of the town from Hunt’s Mills to Clinton, after the popular New York governor DeWitt Clinton. John W. Snyder, the new owner, refitted the Mill for grist and ceased wool production. Today the Mill houses a large portion of the Museum’s collection. Each floor tells a small part of the history of this building and its ever changing role within the Clinton Community.
