Franklin Lakes Mill 1967 Photo and history by Jack Goudsward The exact date this mill was built is not known but is believed to be about 1723. It is known that the already old mill was rebuilt by the Yeoman family in 1798. The Yeoman family operated a saw, grist and cider mill until about 1888, and then the Bender family took over the operation. In 1900, the wooden structure was rebuilt from original timbers that were identified, at that time, as going back to the late 1790 s. The Franklin Lakes Mill was located on Franklin Lake Road at the mouth of Franklin Lake. The mill was destroyed by a fire in 1972.
