Chipman's Mill is located near Laurel, Delaware, and had been composed of two structures, the older original to the site. The one story mill, built by Joseph Chipman in 1884, was situated over the millrace and contained turbines and millstones. The wooden superstructure featured mortise and tenon joinery. An adjoining two story section was moved to the site from elsewhere.[2]
Chipman's Mill functioned into the late 1940s.[2] Arson destroyed the structures in November 1986.[2] It is now a local park, with fishing and a boat ramp.
