The ruins of the grist mill provide outstanding examples of Shaker architecture. A gristmill, also called a grist mill, corn mill, flour mill, feed mill or feedmill, grinds cereal grain into flour and middlings. The term can refer to either the grinding mechanism or the building that holds it. Grist is grain that has been separated from its chaff in preparation for grinding. The Watervliet Shakers, like all Shaker communities, were almost self-sufficient, raising their own food and producing their own clothing and machinery. The nine remaining Shaker structures, and the ruins of the grist mill provide outstanding examples of Shaker architecture.
