Greenbank Mills & Philips Farm

Greenbank Mills & Philips Farm Experience living history at the site of the only remaining mill along the Red Clay Creek.

Greenbank Mills & Philips Farm is a living history museum with tours and programs focusing on a variety of aspects of the Early Republic (1790-1830): the gristmill, the textile factory, and daily life at the 1794 Philips House and 19th century farm with heritage livestock.

🛍️ Are you a maker, artist, crafter, grower, or small business owner?

We're looking for vendors for our Makers Market, where neighbors come together to shop small, support local businesses, and enjoy summer evenings.

✨ Help us continue to create a community gathering where small businesses can shine and shoppers can discover something unique.

📅 Second Thursday, June–September
⏰ 3–7 PM

Spaces are available now. We'd love to have you be part of it! https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/makers-market-5

On this last day of International Heritage Breeds Week, we want to highlight our Leicester Longwool flock and send appreciation to all our volunteer shepherds!

The Leicester Longwools are on the threatened list with The Livestock Conservancy Priority List which means the breed has fewer than 1,000 annual registrations in the United States and an estimated global population of less than 5,000.

We look forward to increasing our breeding flock and could not do our part of conserving this important heritage breed without our volunteers!
