Step Back in Time at Kirby's Mill

In the heart of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, Kirby's Mill stands as a living testament to U.S. history. Built in 1778 by Isaac Haines and partners, this grist mill operated for nearly two centuries, grinding wheat, buckwheat, rye, and corn with water power.

Echoes of cannon fire from Revolutionary War battles at Red Bank would have been heard by mill workers whose labor provided flour for the new country. Owner William S. Kirby added a fourth floor in the late 19th century, and installed water turbines for year-round operation. This ensured Kirby's Mill remained an economic force, producing flour, cornmeal, and livestock feed well into the 20th century. Today, Kirby's Mill is on the National Register of Historic Places, restored by The Medford Historical Society.
