Taylor's Mill Historic District, a 26acres historic district featuring the gristmill Taylor's Mill, is located along Taylor's Mill Road and Rockaway Road near Oldwick in Readington Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 11, 1992 for its significance in architecture, exploration/settlement, industry, and military.[2] The district boundary was increased by in 1997 to cross the Rockaway Creek and extend into Tewksbury Township.[3]
Colonel John Taylor (1744–1811) built this grist and flouring mill on the Rockaway Creek. It supplied grain for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The mill had many subsequent owners, including Eleanor and Manning McCrea.[2]
On April 5, 2024, the mill suffered major damage from the 2024 New Jersey earthquake, a rare 4.8 magnitude earthquake that shook much of the Northeast United States.[4]
