The grist and saw mill built by Joseph Swayze Jr. in 1787 on Muddy Brook was still operating as such in 1874. The community consisted of a few scattered houses and farms. That is about all that remains today. The mill remains are several stone walls, a very well preserved penstock and deflector box, and scenic color in autumn. The mill operated with an overshot wheel with the deflector box dumping the force of the water down onto the top of the wheel.
