The Red Mill Museum Village offers a layered look at the people and industries that shaped this part of the New Jersey Highlands. Located in present-day Clinton, the site sits within Lenapehoking, the ancestral homeland of the Lenni-Lenape people, whose presence here stretches back thousands of years. At its center stands the iconic 1810 Red Mill, surrounded by 10 acres of preserved buildings that tell a broader story of work, learning, and daily life. Explore the mill, quarry, and stone crusher, schoolhouse, log cabin, and an operational blacksmith shop, each adding depth to the experience.
Throughout the year, the village hosts craft fairs, art shows, music festivals, and historical programs that bring the setting to life in new ways. Open year-round, it’s a place where history feels alive and welcomes school groups, families, photographers, and anyone curious to better understand the stories woven into this landscape.
