The Kister Mill was built in 1816 by John {{Surname|Nimmon}}. It is located in [[Millbrook, Ohio]] just a mile east of State Route 3 south of [[Wooster, Ohio|Wooster]] on County Road 34 (Kister Rd.) where it intersects with Route 83, in [[Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio|Plain Township]]. The mill utilized water power from springs, coming from as far away as [[Springville, Ohio|Springville]].

The mill utilized water power from springs, coming from as far away as [[Springville, Ohio|Springville]].
The Kister Mill was named a National Historical Landmark in 1974. While its work has diminished over the years, the mill was the oldest industry in [[Wayne County, Ohio|Wayne County]] still in operation as it approached its bicentennial in 2016, and it was "the last overhead water driven wheel remaining in Ohio"<ref>"Old Mill Stream," Wayne County Topics, July 1966, p.6</ref>. When Rich and Cindi Boyer bought the mill in 1997, "the 30-year-old water wheel was in such poor shape that Rich, a tool and die maker by trade, and his carpenter father Arden built a new wheel using patterns and guide boards Guy Kister had saved," and plans for full restoration of the mill and its development as a working museum were underway in the 2010s<ref>"Preserving Kister Mill," Farm and Dairy, 1 October 2014</ref>. In 2018, the Western Reserve Land Conservancy purchased the property and planned to partner with others to restore and improve the Kister Mill and to open it to the public.
