Another Arlington entry on the National Register of Historic places, the Old Schwamb Mill is the longest continually running mill site in the entire western hemisphere. The building was originally a spice mill but was converted into a woodworking space when the Schwambs purchased it in 1864. Today visitors can tour the facility and see machinery demonstrations and the creation of circle and oval wooden frames still produced by hand on 19th century equipment. The mill, dryhouse, and barn are open for tours on Tuesdays and Saturdays year-round.
