Join us at The Mill at Anselma for a special evening as part of Chester County’s 2026 Town Tours & Village Walks series! In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s expanded program—13 Tours for 13 Colonies—explores the extraordinary places, people, and events across Chester County that shaped our nation’s history.
On September 24th, step back in time at our historic water-powered gristmill, built around 1747. During colonial times, Chester County served as the "breadbasket" of America, providing the essential grain and flour that fed local communities and sustained the Revolutionary-era food supply. During your 50-minute guided walk, you will explore the rich history of the Mill and the families who operated it, see rare early milling technology in action, and discover the critical role our mill played in powering the region’s growth.
Whether you are a local history enthusiast or looking for a memorable family evening stroll, we welcome you to experience the sights and sounds of 18th-century Chester County right here at Anselma.
