The mill operated until 1930, sat idle for periods of time, and had other uses at times.

In the early 1970's, the mill structure was a farm and garden supply store.

In 1992, the mill apeared to be used for storage but in excellent condition. The location is very scenic and pleasant, especially in Autumn. More info forthcoming.
