One of the "Twin Mills" at Belvidere, N.J., the brick felt mill was built in 1790 by Major Robert Hoops. The 35'X 70' brick mill, at 3.5 stories in height, was converted to a grist mill in the late 1800's. For many years in the 1900's, the mill and the adjacent Red Frame Mill were both operating simultaneously and independently of each other as feed mills. Not hard to find out what your competitor is doing, being that close! In 1992, the mill was operating as a custom trophy sales store.
| Directions:
Take Ch 620 west from US 46 at Belvidere, N.J. Procede about 2 miles on Ch 620/Water St. to Hardwick St. and turn left, crossing the Pequest River. The mill is on the left between the river and Front St. |
