History & local legend
Old Mill Village near New Milford is a living-history museum whose volunteers have reported seeing a man walking the grounds. They identified him as a former caretaker, apparently still attending to the place he once maintained.
One story concerns the cleanup after a reenactment. Scraps from black-powder cartridges lay scattered over the ground. A volunteer working to collect them discovered that someone had gathered the remaining papers into a pile, a helpful act attributed to the old caretaker.
The schoolhouse supplied another report during the October 2007 ghost walks. Guides said they closed a book cabinet before leaving with a group. When they returned with the next visitors, they found the doors open and books pulled out.
