History

A grist mill was built here in 1832, by Abram Garis, on what is now known as Van Campens Mill Brook. The George Trauger House was built c. 1860.[6] The Colonel Abraham Van Campen House, built c. 1750, the B. B. Van Campen Farm, also known as the Moses Van Campen House, built c. 1840, and the Miller House, also known as the James Van Campen Farm, are contributing properties of the Old Mine Road Historic District.[7] The Abraham Van Campen House, built c. 1790, was moved to the village in 1974.[6]
