The Cooper Gristmill, located along the Black River in Chester, New Jersey, stands as the only restored water-powered mill in the state and a testament to the region's industrial history. Built in 1826 by General Nathan Cooper, the mill features historical machinery and guided tours that showcase its original function of grinding grains.

This living historical site offers visitors a hands-on experience with exhibitions on local history, as well as access to a network of trails connecting to adjacent parklands. The mill not only illustrates the transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy, but it also serves as a cherished part of Morris County's preserved landscapes.
