Millbrook Village
In 1832 Abram Garris built a mill here, and it came to serve as the nucleus of a village. Millbrook flourished during the middle years of the century, but by 1900 the village was in an irreversible decline. Today Millbrook is the stage for a re-creation of a late-19th century rural community rather than an exact restoration of the original. A self-guiding walking tour of the village tells you about the buildings and life here 100 years ago.

PEEC is ideal for schools, churches, and youth groups, offering weekend workshops, including family vacation camps. Several Elderhostel sessions are held throughout the year.
