Linchester Mill is a historic grist mill located at Preston in Caroline County, Maryland, United States.[2] The original mill was built at the site in about 1682; the current structure was erected in approximately 1840 and is a 2+1⁄2-story frame building sided in red-painted weatherboard and roofed with raised-seam metal. It is four bays long and two bays deep, with a two-story lean-to addition. Then known as Langrell's Mill, operations ceased in 1974 but currently houses a museum collection of milling machinery dating from the 19th century to the mid-20th century.[3]
