Fowle's Mill - slide - mill - fence - people, horse & buggy The original Fowle's Grain Mill, photographed c. 1875. In 1863 Samuel A. Fowle obtained the mill from his brother-in-law Benjamin Cutter, on the site of Captain Cooke's original 1637 mill priviledge. Fowle's diverse activities also included paint, dye and drug grinding. He built an even larger mill complex after a disastrous 1883 fire where his famous "Arlington Wheat Meal" was produced.
