RED MILL MUSEUM & HUNTERDON ART MUSEUM
We had an amazing time visiting the Red Mill Museum and right next door you will find Hunterdon Art Museum. Red Mill was also a 19th-century historic museum. The Red Mill was in operation from 1810-to 1928. Ralph Hunt processed wool but the business failed and was taken over by John Bray and John B. Taylor from 1828 to 1834. They changed the name of the town from Hunt’s Mill to Clinton.
