Red Mill Clinton

The Red Mill is one of New Jersey’s most photographed landmarks, known for its classic historic mill structure, reflections on the South Branch of the Raritan River, and charming downtown atmosphere.

### 📍 Starting Point: Red Mill Museum Village

• Historic 4-story grist mill on the river — built around 1810–1812 and now part of a 10-acre museum village with other period buildings.
• Excellent photo subjects:
• The mill façade from various angles along the riverbank.
• Reflection shots on calm water — especially early morning or late afternoon light.
• Seasonal scenes– autumn foliage, snow scenes, or spring blossoms all give different moods to your shots.

📷 Best tips:

• Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the mill and river.
• A polarizing filter helps reduce glare and enhance water reflections.
• The iron pedestrian bridge nearby is a classic compositional element — frame the mill with the bridge’s trusses for unique perspective shots.
