The Mill Museum is the darling of the Cape Town Historical Society which was bequeathed the building by its heir, Myra East, in 1975.At the time, the Mill was in a sad state of disrepair. Abandoned in the latter half of the 1930¡¯s, much of the building had lain exposed to the elements for decades. A few records hinting at its construction and workings during its illustrious years of operation ¨C between 1840 when it was built, and 1863 when its machinery fell silent ¨C inspired the society to attempt its renovation and reconstruction.
