In 1854, James Alexander Forbes constructed the four story Forbes Mill in Forbesville, California, a town that would be later renamed to Los Gatos in 1887.

On March 28, 1982, the former mill was established as the Forbes Mill Museum.



Author’s Note:
The Forbes Mill Museum is currently closed and the facility is only open for viewing through appointments only.
