The historic 1854 Souther Tide Mill and adjoining property at the mouth of Town Brook and upper Town River Bay are some of the few remaining vestiges of Quincy’s earliest industrial waterfront. While this area was well suited to capturing the tidal waters needed to power the mill, those same waters now have become a threat to the mill’s long-term survival.

Join Bob Damon, the City of Quincy’s Director of Historic and Heritage Resources, and David Robinson, Director Massachusetts Bureau of Underwater Archaeological Resources for a 90-minute program on the mill’s history and the City and State’s efforts to document and care for vulnerable historic coastal resources. This program is presented in conjunction with the Department of Natural Resources Environmental Treasures walking tour (registration required for tour) of the mill and former Quincy Canal (date TBD). The talk is cosponsored by the Department of Natural Resources and the Friends of the Souther Tide Mill.
