The first mill in Yarmouth was built around 1700 by Thomas Baxter and Shubal Gorham. That mill, a fulling mill, was also located in West Yarmouth near today's Swan's Pond. A few years later, the team built this grist mill for grinding corn, and for many years it was operated by Baxter's sons, Thomas and Shubal. www.hsoy.org/historic/baxtermill.htm
