The 1.2 million dollar restoration of a 192-year-old gristmill in Fairfield County is nearly complete. The six-story facility could soon start grinding grain for the first time in over a century by the end of November. Rock Mill was built in 1824 and was last used in 1905. Restoration work began in 2006, two years after the dilapidated structure was acquired by the county's Historical Parks Commission. Rock Mill has the ability to produce 300 pounds of flour an hour.
