Set along the south branch of the Raritan River, the Red Mill Museum Village centers around Hunt’s Mill, an 1810 wood frame structure that was used during its history to process wool, grist, plaster, graphite, energy and water power; and the Mulligan Quarry, owned by Irish immigrants whose limestone operation continued for 120 years and included processing buildings and worker housing.

In 1960, five concerned citizens, known as the “Red Mill Five,” purchased the property to save it from deterioration due to neglect. The ten-acre site now includes an operational blacksmith shop, permanent and rotating exhibits, one-room school house, stone-sorting screen house, office, and tenant house. Visitors can experience the impact these early industries had on the surrounding community and how they shaped New Jersey, including providing stone for the beds of the state's first roads and railways.
