Newlin Grist Mill Archaeology

Newlin Grist Mill is partnering with the Delaware County Planning Department to host an Archaeology Festival on Saturday, September 10, 2022, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., in Glen Mills.

The annual festival features a variety of exhibits of archaeological materials from local excavations that illuminate the County’s rich heritage. Professional archeologists and historical organizations from Delaware County and the surrounding region will be on-hand to bring the findings to life and share their knowledge of the region’s history with the public.

A variety of family-friendly activities are planned. Attendees will be invited to assist archeologists on-site with actual excavations, including cleaning artifacts, and younger visitors will get to participate in a “Kids’ Dig” and pottery assembly activities.

This year’s festival will also feature the unique opportunity for visitors to see the excavation of the original waterwheel pit in the floor of the 1704 section of the Grist Mill.

Admission and parking are free, and food vendors will be onsite throughout the day.
