Mill Green Museum

Mill Green Museum is a working 18th century watermill in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England. It is managed by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council and admission is £2.50 for adults and free for children under 16.

Its heart is a working watermill, with 18th and 19th century wooden machinery restored to full working order. It is in regular use to grind organic wheat for a local bakery and for retail sale. Visitors can explore the mill, see it working and chat to the miller on duty. Flour is sold in various sizes.

The mill also houses the local museum in the old miller's house. Three galleries show changing displays of art and local history.

Mill Green runs craft and baking workshops, children's activities and a school visit service

Famous quotes containing the words mill, green and/or museum:

    The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other. Both are neurotic scoundrels, yet there is a green lane in Paradise where Humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but Hell shall never parole Hermann.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Soaked by the sparkling waters of America.
