Everything people said in other reviews is true. This is a must see location. The mill itself was closed but they were performing some repairs, so we got a peek at the museum.

Last year I was visiting my friend in So Dennis and we toured the mill museum and sampled some of the best indian pudding I've ever eaten. I left with the recipe (done in a crock pot) and now can't find it. Is there any chance you'd post it on this site? The museum was wonderful and I had to... More
