As other buildings were added, the mill complex eventually became the village of Littleton and the nucleus of its industry. The energy to power the mills was supplied by the Ammonoosuc River with the aid of a dam. Although the dam no longer exists, the original grist mill still stands and is restored to its original appearance. Once again Littleton Grist Mill takes pride in producing the finest organic flours and grain mixes possible.
