Society for the Preservation of Old Mills (SPOOM)

This organization is focused on the identification and preservation of old mills. It sponsors an annual conference and publishes a fine newsletter. SPOOM also has a useful Website, which features a bookstore, information on conferences, an events calendar, grant guidelines, a list of historical associations, membership information, a message board, mill lists, real estate for sale, resources, sites to visit, a trading post, and more. This association made a generous grant to the Stratton Mill Foundation, which helped finance the construction of a storage/work building adjacent to the Stratton Flour Mill. This facility has contributed immensely to the restoration work on Stratton Mill.
