Title

Saddle Rock Grist Mill

What occurred

Built around the year 1700, the Saddle Rock Grist Mill was used to grind corn and wheat grown by farms in the Great Neck area. The mill, built along the water, was also used as a dock for ships. Today, it is the only tidal mill (meaning it is powered by the rise and fall of the tide) left in Nassau County, although it is long out of operation.
