Come see us in Busti! We are open 11 am-2 pm the third Sunday of every month May through October, or by appointment.
We restored and now maintain, and demonstrate the 1839 historic Busti Grist Mill. Every fall we host the annual Busti Apple Festival on the last Sunday of September. We are actively collecting and preserving documents, artifacts, photos and information about the local families both past and present that have lived here in Busti. We teach pioneer and 19th century life and survival skills. Renovation and restoration of the 1846 miller house is our ongoing project.
