Raynors_Grist_Mill_and_Saw_Mill

For $5,500, this purchase also includes the pond to the north to become known as Horsefall Pond, later the site of the Freeport Recreation Center. The Raynor homestead, located opposite the mills on South Main Street, becomes a grocery store and stage coach stop as well as considered a community center.
