The GristMill Place was built in the early 1800s allowing local farmers to bring their grains to be ground. It later became a furniture factory and then changed hands when construction of a massive three storey hotel with 40 bedrooms was built. Sadly, the hotel was burned to its foundations, under suspicious circumstances, before it ever saw it's first guest. An architect purchased the ruins and built a new house in 1949 and passed it on to his son, who made bats for professional baseball players and operated TomKat Bats. In 2011, your host, Gerald, purchased the property and undertook major renovations to transform it to what it is today.
