A very wonderful docent. We learned a lot. We were hoping to watch the artist at work, but not that day. Pretty great place.

So interesting! Working old mill tools, run by giant leather belts, turning massive elliptical frames. Never seen anything like it.

A little piece of history (and natural beauty) tucked in a corner of Arlington. Check for special programming or exhibits. Also a great spot for a casual picnic in the shade.

I absolutely loved being there. Kind of like an out of body experience, like I had been there before in the past life. The frames, artwork, the people were so hospitable, the cupcakes were awesome! And the music just made my night! Thank you all so much. I'll be back!

A unique historical site. Go when the lathe is in use. Fun cultural events.

This is a gem of a find if you find yourself in that area and have time to spare. It’s a lovely place with really cool history and it is still an active mill today! It is a quiet place and for some reason it makes me think of Scooby Doo. Why would the Old Schwamb Mill make me think of that?We arrived to find a note that said ring the door bell and when we did a quant bell rang on the door. The host opened the door and we were lucky enough to arrive just as the tour was about to start. We first visited the office and then we toured the mill.I don’t want to give away too much because I knew nothing about that place when I arrived and I had a lot of fun learning, especially with my imagination. My favorite room is the glue room. I feel that I should have my own room dedicated to glue like this one. Maybe after 150 years of use it would be as cool as their glue room.Almost everything in that Mill is from the late 1800s and is still used today and it’s complete. They still have the original paperwork, work orders, and probably a few hospital bills too. Even the walls have stories to tell. There is a quant art gallery upstairs featuring local artists and showcasing what the mill produces. I recommend reading the walls in the gallery.It is an old building and there were numerous places where I could see the rooms below through the holes in the floorboards. So watch where you walk, especially in the glue room. Also, little kids who like to press buttons or touch things could get hurt. Not a good place for active kids.We had a great tour guide and we met some lovely people on the tour. It’s really a great way to spend an hour or so. I’m glad we stopped.So, now I know what happens at the Old Schwamb Mill.

Wonderful old machinery that runs off belts and still works. A great glimpse into a smaller factory that operated from the mid 1800s until the 1960s and still makes custom picture frames today.

They said on their website that they were open but they were closed to the public because they were having a luncheon. Should have noted that on website so people didn't walk there for nothing.
