Overall a solid place to visit. The mill tour is two stops total, but definitely worth a trip if they are actively milling (you can tell by if the wheel outside is turning or not). Probably best if done as part of the Plimoth pass instead of a standalone visit. Cemetery up the hill nearby also worth a walk if you have time!

Tour is very short. Weve been to a mill before so this was nothing special. It is a recreation of the original mill. We actually liked the pub next door more.

Great little museum! The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, went above and beyond to teach us and answer our questions. Recommend for anyone interested in history.

Very cool place even though not original

Wonderful experienceGreat presentation. I only wish we were able to see it operating.The nicest part of plimoth.

The Plymouth Gristmill is amazing. It includes a short tour of the gristmill on the first and second story. You learn how they mill corn and the history of the gristmill. If youre lucky the may be milling corn when you visit. At the end of the tour there are fun children activities and a gift shop!! I would definitely visit the Plymouth Gristmill again in the future!!!

Very cute mill. Didnt get to go inside because it was already closed but very pretty outside.

The staff here are wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the mill, history, and the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend.

We showed up ten minutes before closing. Instead of grumbling at us (which we probably deserved), the staff people present went above and beyond to tell us as much as they could in the few minutes available. They were so welcoming and kind and eager to explain, their actions added extra shine to our visit to Plymouth and Plimoth Patuxet! The Grist Mill will be a quick stop for most people, but it is very interesting and it is a beautiful area. After they closed, we went on a nice walk and were glad to have visited.

Loved this place how they still grind fresh grains and you can buy them is a real treat. All the staff is great and very knowledgeable. Nice place for all ages. One negative is getting around while being disabled.

Another cute thing to visit in Plymouth. Good for all ages. Staff is very knowledgeable and expeditiously shares all the knowledge with you.

Beautiful setting. All decorated for fall. Lovely gift shop

Great tour of the mostly original mill works dating back to 1638. You can buy local wheat and rye flower grown locally and processed by the mill. I use it in my sourdough whole wheat breadA hidden treasure.

The food, staff, and atmosphere are top notch. Stop at least once a week. You will not be disappointed

What a great way to learn how the early settlers made their food! You get a tour learning how the water mill works, and how corn was ground. This is a great learning experience for the whole family!

It is a complete replica. Way to modern feeling. Not worth the money for the 20min spent there. Not much to see for kids and adults. There is way better gris mills to see that are authentic.

This was a great tour. Staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly.

Interesting and historicBeautiful pond nearby

Very interesting tour, well done. They grind corn on Saturdays

Old world technology at its finest. This working water mill has history, innovation and style. With products to buy, grown locally and offered to the public. Plus special sessions that teach you how they mill their products, it’s truly art what they produce and keep alive.From the stones, the water wheel, the gears, the math, the experience of the mill staff, it’s working history that has fed our society for generations.As a working mill, this is a must for any home or professional baker or cook | Chef. With incredible ingredients to choose from, to the knowledge of the staff, there is so much to learn about this ancient art of making flour from grain.

Neat place. Dont waste your money on the tour.

If you like history Id say youll enjoy visiting this place.

A beautiful place for a walk along the creek.

Knowledgeable staff at the mill. Interesting process.

Clear explanations of the inner workings of the mill. But the mill only operates one day per week, so it is not.often to be able to see it working. Still, the guides make it very interesting.

Good place for a quick visit, is great to take beautiful pictures, but wont take long to see the whole place.

Beautiful old mill with great landscaping and lots to see. Theres a wonderful walking path that follows the stream.

This is a reproduction of a 17th century mill in Plymouth, Massachusetts. We visited the mill, but decided to not take the tour do to the cost. On our Great American Roadtrip of 2019 we have take a ton of tours and we found the cost for this attraction to be a little more than our perceived value. The cost was around $28.00 per person, this price included admissin to another location that we were nor visiting.

My grandkids loved it. A very neat interactive area for kids to get a hands on concept. The young man who talked about the grist mill where you come it was very good with the kids. Appreciated how he drew them into the details and brought history alive.

Working grist mill, I learned about grinding corn into corn meal. Very nice place to visit

Nothing too special but its a beautiful walk along the stream to get there and its its interesting. Id say its worth it unless you are short on time.

Just visited the shop, small but perfectly formed! Bought corn meal and whole-wheat flour, yum!

Nice place had never been before.

Short tour but very interesting.

Employees were super knowledgeable and friendly

Rather small and isnt historically accurate. But its an ok stop if you purchase the combo ticket.

Very pretty historical site off the beaten path

Brings back so many memories as a kid always one of my favorite places to go when I come to visit my hometown

Great information and details provided by the friendly museum staff.

Really neat stop and the people are fantastic as well.

A nice place to visit and take pictures!

The guy explaining the grinding stone and the different stages of grain was great. But after that introduction, the rest was a two minute walk through without much explaination. The whole thing was about 15 minutes.

It is so relaxing sitting on the deck. Great food and staff. Its one of my favorite places to go

Great historic spot. Free parking, a great place to start a walking tour of the plymouth water front and main Street.

Nice place. Great to see an operating grist mill using vintage technology.

Beautiful place but The lady at store was behind us all the time.

It was a great family weekend to get to know the past by having knowledgeable people retell the history.

If you have any interest in history and things were done hundreds of years ago this is a cool place to start. Kim (our host) not only was able to answer every one of my questions, she literally got down on her hands and knees to demonstration how the grinding stone was adjusted to grind different sizes of grain. Educational, interesting and enjoyable. Cant ask for anything more.

What a great experience! Perfect to go during bad weather. Everyone was so nice, and did you know Clover uses some of their grains? Wow! And cornmeal very reasonably priced, $4-$5.50 for a lb of all local organic product, whats more to love?

Nice views, but the tourists are everywhere.

If you want to see it working, visit on saturday afternoon. Polite staff!

Very informative tour. Adorable little gift shop.

Pretty cool place if you like history. There is a replica of what the pilgrims would have used for a grist mill. You can also buy fresh milled corn mill, rye flour and other dry goods (pancake mix, muffin mix). The gentleman that was our guide wasnt very helpful when answering questions, he knew his script and that was it.

Great friendly informative staff...

Cute place! Feels like walk back in time! Love!!!

Nice outdoor spot. Very touristy.

Nice little piece of history, but it was a short self tour as the mill is small. It was nice to hear the history but the tour took about 10 minutes. Best part is ever other Saturday they show you how the mill grinds corn, very cool! There is a nice path behind the mill that goes through Brewster Gardens and leads to the Plymouth Rock.

Dont go unless they are milling some grists. Much easier to realize whats happening when you see all the grists gristling.

I didn’t spend much time here but it was a very beautiful setting and the gift shop clerk was very helpful and friendly it’s definitely worth a stop if you’re in town.

The mill is beautiful and the milling demonstration was educational and engaging.

Friendly staff and awsome food. One of our favorite places

Neat place to see how corn was milled. Visited Thursday and was informed the mill is in use Fridays and Saturdays so we went back a second day. Very educational and you get to see the end product and purchase it.

The best time to go is in the spring when the herring are running. Herring start to run up these estuaries to spawn about the time the peepers are out. You know those things that make a peeping sound at dusk and continue peeping all night. After the adult herring spawn..... This takes weeks..... They go back to the ocean and thats when the stripe bass are waiting for them. Enjoy the show. The water wheel is pretty cool and the historical data scattered about is interesting. If you walk across the footbridge going upstream and continue up a hill the town recently made an awesome skate park with a basketball court and landscaped next to the stream. If you want you can keep walking upstream and you come to a covered footbridge.

Very nice place to learn about the mill

Great place for walking on a path to. Quiet and serene.

Tour guide Ethan is very knowledgable.

Working grist mill parts. They only run it a few hours a week, but tour guide was knowledgeable, and it was still cool to see, not running.

If you are looking for an authentic working mill, this is it! This mill is located within easy walking distance of Plymouth Rock surrounded by a beautiful park. We actually came across it by accident and were pleasantly surprised. Hopefully, Kim is working when you stop by because you will be very impressed by her knowledge and friendliness. We had a very nice visit and learned a lot!

Very interesting. Watched them mill corn from initial setup up of stones to finished product, which you may purchase at gift store.Everything was expertly explained by staff

The high point was the docents full explanation of how the mill works. Its period is halfway between the original and present.

Excellent information and interactive displays. A truly hidden treasure.PS buy the stone ground corn meal

The history of this place is really neat. Missed my chance to watch the corn get milled this last Saturday September 28th, 2020. But I would look and see if they have another date the mill will be running.

What a wonderful stop!

Didnt get to go inside, however still interesting to see one.

Small but informative. Knowledgeable and patient staff. Kid-friendly.

Small mill which we were hoping to see in action but their website and actual milling days were different. They told us that they currently mill on Fridays and Saturdays. They also have a little interactive area downstairs.

Staff were friendly and helpful!

Lots of opportunity for learning and hands on

A Peaceful historic Mill. On a nice day its a lovely walk-about.

Highly educational functional museum. The 17th century has never been so alive to me as it was in the Grist Mill.

So kind and great tour, good information! Worth a visit

Love it there! Seeing Nature up close is wonderful©whatEYEviewPhotography

A great place to visit with family and friends.In order to enjoy, you must walk through the park, next to the stream. You will arrive at the mill.The staff there is wonderful. It’s a small tour, but a mill that is actually working. You can get a chance to see grinding of corn etc. The whole mechanism is well explained. A good learning for kids. You can buy tickets to Plymouth Plantations as combo pack. Make sure to ask about New England Resident Discount( there is a period when it’s active, not always)

So neat to see how food was processed back then. No going to the grocery store for a bag of flour.

Amazing place filled with history. Great personnel who tells the stories..

I would have liked to have seen the mill in operation.

Great piece of history...

It was so cool! Very unique experience and well worth the price! There are daily activities that are fun to see. The Grist Mill is cool too, but its just the actual mill with a miller grinding corn. Theres a small exhibit on the floor below as well. Definitely recommend! 👍🏼

Very cute mill in a beautiful part of Plymouth. Cute gift shop and museum. Love how relaxed and peaceful the atmosphere is here. Staff seemed a little off put by my 3 year old and I which made me feel a bit out of place but other than that, I loved it.

I enjoy running along the waterfront. Since the grist mill has free parking, I begin my walks and runs there and follow Town Brook out to Brewster Gardens and then along the waterfront all the way to Nelson Park Beach and the North Plymouth Bike trail. It end up being a 6 mile journey. I am a teacher and also enjoy doing a yearly historic scavenger hunt with my students. There are many historic monuments, statues and artifacts of history along the way including Pilgrim Maiden Fountain, Massasoit Statue, Governor Bradford Statue, The Mayflower and Plymouth Rock to name a few. It is a peaceful trail and I thoroughly enjoy exploring this area.

While small and limited olsce, staff made their best to engage and explain, which made it worthwhile

Great spot with local history and culture. They continue to make improvements to this area and its very well maintained. Its also a great spot to see the herring when they start running. I recommend walking around this area.

Very interesting fun for all ages but a little boring

Favorite place to walk with the kids

Very interesting to see how a mill works. I was surprised at how much my kids enjoyed the hands on activities in the lower level. The staff was really nice.

Wish the review could be better, as Im a bit torn on my experience.The actual mill is neat, albeit small and hot inside. We were given an informational speech and modest run-through of how everything worked. Im annoyed that I paid extra at Plimoth Plantation for this tour and no one checked my receipt to verify I wasnt Joe Schmoe just walking in.The downstairs portion was great to look at. Some informational placards could have been placed on the mechanical bits to explain what was what. Employee there was helpful. Gift shop was, well, your typical gift shop.5 stars if it was either cheaper or free with more informational stuff to read.

Well presented interesting history, but a bit overpriced for the size.

Very informative staff.we were blessed to see them grinding the corn. They only do it twice a week for about 30 minutes as they dont have a large market for it at the moment. Very informative process.

If you go here, try to go on a day when they are grinding corn. It doesnt happen every day. Also, the best path down to the water starts right behind the mill. Just follow the path away from the parking lot (NOT towards the John Carver Inn) and it will lead you under some bridges, along the creek and through a park. Beautiful location and staff at the mill were very knowledgeable about their craft.

Very nice
