Dalgarven Mill is a restored grain mill from 1880 housing two museums. The working water wheel, powered by the River Garnock, drives the original machinery on display across three floors of granaries showing the lives of past farmers and associated trades. The costume collection contains approximately 2,500 items dating from the 1770s, with highlights rotated annually in themed exhibitions through Easter to autumn. The Miller's Kitchen café serves light lunches, homemade soups and cakes. A riverside walk follows how water is channelled from the weir to power the wheel.
