Watkins Mill Association proactively supports the preservation and living history of Watkins Woolen Mill Historic Site, a unique national treasure. Many structures that Waltus Watkins spent half a century building -- including the family Home and a three-story Woolen Mill -- have been preserved to give Visitors a sense of life in the 1870s. The Association has set aggressive goals to increase Visitors, Volunteers and Members by increasing the quantity of quality Visitor experiences. Proceeds from Association activities, including Get Outdoors Day, will benefit Watkins Mill and help sustain its future.
