ALL ARE WELCOME!
On Tuesday, July 25, 2023, the Roslyn Landmark Society is celebrating the conclusion of Phase I of the Roslyn Grist Mill Restoration Project as all cribbing and steel support beams are removed, and the Mill is lowered onto its new foundation, supported by its restored historic timber frame.
A team of prominent historic preservation companies, using centuries-old wood frame restoration methods and historic structural techniques, will work together to ensure the Roslyn Grist Mill (1715-1731), is properly seated and self-supporting on the new foundation.
Additionally, the Roslyn Landmark Society will be acknowledging a generous gift from a direct descendent of John Robinson who owned the original mill constructed between 1701 and 1709. According to the Hempstead Town Records, John Robinson was granted permission on April 2, 1698, to set up a grist mill on a stream at the head of the harbor (“ye streme att ye hed of the harboure”).
Brief speeches will be made including Roslyn Landmark Society’s executive director, Jennifer Lister, as well as the Society’s co-president, Howard Kroplick. Concluding remarks will be presented by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Nassau County is the owner of the Roslyn Grist Mill and will celebrate its continuing restoration as part of the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the creation of Nassau County in 2024.
Light refreshments will be served.
