Annual Open House at the Old Schwamb Mill

Come visit Arlington's living history museum and manufactory of oval picture frames since 1864, located on the oldest operating mill site in the United States.

The Mill is a window into the industrial past, offering visitors an insight into 19th-century New England. The belts and wheels whirring, the smell of new-cut wood and the feel of smooth-worn floors make for an evocative experience.

Event Highlights: continuous Mill tours, frame-turning demonstrations on original lathes by wood turner David Graf, Closing Reception of winter photography exhibition Holidays with HeART, plus live German music entertainment and old-fashioned refreshments.
