Hayes Mill

[Pine Baron]

I'm a "newbie" to the forum so I hope I'm doing this right. This is the best Pine Barrens sight I've come across. I'm from Atco/Winslow Twp area and live near Hayes Mill Rd. I can't seem to find any info/history of the Hayes Mill. Does any one know about it?

Pine Baron,

Here's an article from another great site that touches upon your concern:

Pine Baron:

As the editor of the article that Gabe (pinelandpaddler) linked for you, I can assure you that you will not find a more authoritative narrative on the history of the Marple/Richards/Hays (Hayes) mill currently available. Can more research be conducted on the mill? Absolutely—but David Wilcox’s article is an excellent starting point.

Best regards,
Jerseyman

Pinepaddler, Thanx for the great link. Took me a while to read it all. There's alot of info in that article. You're right, Jerseyman, it's a great start! Thanx to both.

Thanx for the welcome. It's good to be aboard! The name actually belongs to my truck: I'm just borrowing it.
