Winkler's Mill
A sawmill, dam, and gristmill were built here in 1825 by John Hersey, one of the first settlers in the county and a founder of the villages of Rochester and Stony Creek, nearby. From 1870 to 1920 this mill was operated by Joseph Winkler. In a single year, 1880, Winkler ground 2,504 barrels of wheat and some 694,000 pounds of cornmeal, feed, and buckwheat flour.
