Another nice feature of Melville Park: a replica of an original grist mill. Looks pretty authentic, doesn't it? The original mill was built in 1664. It was rebuilt in 1669. A third mill was built with the help of Donald A. Spetta in 1937 and that is the mill that stands there now. The roof was re-shingled about ten years ago.

oh i always stop to admire the pretty glasswork (or painting?) above the door there.
many, many summer days spent on that bridge. one of my son's favorite things to do is sit on the bridge and count the turtles. i like peeking into that little community garden they have back by the bird sanctuary, too. makes me wonder if i could be as prolific - if only i had the discipline to keep such a thing maintained and healthy!
I do love that kind of architecture - don't ever see it down here ...
