Although the Mayall Mill site is not officially a State Historic Site, it is owned by the Bureau of Parks and Lands as part of our Pineland Public Reserved Lands. Established by Samuel Mayall in 1791 in a small wooden building, this area grew to an operation based on the production of two large brick mills powered by the waters of Collyer Brook. Mayall first chose this area because of an abundance of sheep among farms in the region and the working grist mill here that he leased and converted to woolen manufacturing. He later purchased the mill before expanding the operation. At its peak, Mayall Mills employed 20 people and produced 30,000 yards of woolen cloth in a year. When Samuel died in 1831 his daughters took over the mills and eventually leased the buildings to other milling managers. The mills ceased operation in 1903.
