The Old Mill is what became New Hope Mills, still in business in Auburn, NY. Well known for its various pancake and waffle mixes in central NY, New Hope Mills closed operations at the original water powered mill in 2004. Their current Auburn location let them expand their selection of mixes to nearly two dozen. The original mill is slowly being worked on, with a goal of becoming a working museum.
