Note: The plaque under the mill stones says: "These Millstone represent the first industry in Rochester having been used in the grist mill of Ebenezer Allan (commonly called 'Indian Allan') which was built in Rochester in 1787, more than twenty years before the erection of the first house in the city. They are now placed in this position by the Rochester Historical Society A. D. 1896."
