The Old Mill Museum was built in 1849 by Alfred Wilkerson as a three-story Greek revival style building that was originally used as a grist mill. The museum, which is located on the banks of the River Raisin, served as a mill, hydro-electric plant, Ford factory and fabricating factory before being restored to its original splendor in 1980 by the volunteers of the Old Mill Restoration Committee. The mill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 and is part of the Ford Heritage Trail in Dundee.
The museum is open Friday through Monday from noon to 4:00 p.m. and houses permanent and changing exhibits depicting early life in Michigan. Weekend events are often planned at the museum, so be sure to consult its calendar to enhance your museum experience.
