Library Millstones - original site - photo

Photo of original site of millstones now on library lawn.
Although Warwick was incorporated in 1763, earlier
residents built a corn mill on the Black Brook near Richards Reservoir. The mill stones from this
mill, run by David Ayres, currently sit in the town center in front of the Warwick Public Library.
