The Linden Mill is a former gristmill located in Linden, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. As of 2018, the building housed the Linden branch of the Genesee District Library and the Linden Mills Historical Society Museum. [2]
Two mills were first built in Linden in 1837 and 1838. These burned, and in 1850, Seth C. Sadler and M. Warren bought the mill sites and constructed the present gristmill as well as a saw mill located across the river. These mills were operated together, and known as the "Linden Mills." By 1864, Linden had 450 inhabitants, and multiple businesses that depended on the mills, such as furniture manufacturers, makers of, staves and carriages, and a grain elevator. The saw mill burned down during the Civil War, but was soon rebuilt. In 1864, Israel B. Hyatt purchased the mills, and in about 1880 Myron Harris took over. [3]
At some point, the saw mill was demolished, but the gristmill continued in operation until 1956. At that point, the water wheel was sold and the village of Linden purchased the mill for use as a library, and to house municipal offices. The structure was remodeled, and opened as a community center in 1961. In 1971, the water wheel was replaced with another wheel from an old mill. [3] The municipal offices moved out of the building during the 1960s, and in 1976, the Linden Mills Historical Society Museum opened in the building. [2] As of 2018, the library and the historical museum are still located in the old mill.

Cannondale Historic District is a historic district in the Cannondale section in the north-central area of the town of Wilton, Connecticut. The district includes 58 contributing buildings, one other contributing structure, one contributing site, and 3 contributing objects, over a 202 acres (82 ha). About half of the buildings are along Danbury Road and most of the rest are close to the Cannondale train station .The district is significant because it embodies the distinctive architectural and cultural-landscape characteristics of a small commercial center as well as an agricultural community from the early national period through the early 20th century....The historic uses of the properties in the district include virtually the full array of human activity in this region—farming, residential, religious, educational, community groups, small-scale manufacturing, transportation, and even government. The close physical relationship among all these uses, as well as the informal character of the commercial enterprises before the rise of more aggressive techniques to attract consumers, capture some of the texture of life as lived by prior generations. The district is also significant for its collection of architecture and for its historic significance.
