Preserving Anselma For The Future
With the vision and foresight of Samuel and Eleanor Morris, the French & Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust purchased the mill property from the estate of Oliver E. Collins in 1983. In 1999, the Mill at Anselma Preservation and Educational Trust was formed to complete the Mill's restoration and create an innovative historical attraction for the enjoyment of schoolchildren, scholars, visitors, and the community.
Today, the Mill at Anselma connects visitors with America's rich industrial and agricultural past through tours and milling demonstrations. The Mill sells its own stoneground flour and cornmeal, and hosts a weekly farmer's market on its historic grounds.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the words preserving and/or future:
“The poor President, what with preserving his popularity and doing his duty, is completely bewildered.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one’s future must be hewn.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
