The Ghost Chicks are fortunate to call "The Haunted Red Mill" in Clinton NJ their National Headquarters. They are based there and each episode of Ghost Chicks will begin at the Red Mill. In the future, you will be able to meet the Ghost Chicks, attend lectures, go on ghost hunts and receive psychic readings with the shows psychic, Amber Anderson. "We are extremely please that out of all the Paranormal Groups in the country, we were asked to use the Red Mill as our home base" said John Orrichio, the creator of the show. "What's better than having our office located at an actual haunted location" Tony Rugnetta, producer of the show was quick to point out.

The picturesque Red Mill Museum Village sits on a tranquil 10-acre site nestled along the banks of the South Branch of the Raritan River in historic Clinton, New Jersey. Open from April to mid-October, the Museum and its grounds provide a fascinating historic destination as well as a peaceful escape from the bustle of everyday life.

The Museum has an outstanding collection of more than 40,000 artifacts. Exhibited on both a permanent and rotating basis, the collection is especially strong in textiles (clothing, quilts, and linens), baskets, Victorian household accessories, woodworking tools, lighting artifacts, farm equipment, and other tools.

Special exhibits change annually in the Tomson Gallery of the Red Mill and Gallery One in the Administration Building. In 1848, the brothers Francis, Patrick and Terence Mulligan founded the Mulligan family quarry. They quarried and burned limestone from the cliffs for fertilizer and sold crushed stone to bed the new network of railroads and paved roadways.

After an 1891 fire destroyed Clinton's Main Street, the Mulligans prospered by supplying materials to help rebuild the town. Today, you can visit the original quarry office, lime kilns, stone crusher, screen house and dynamite shed, as well as a working blacksmith shop and tenant house that was home to the families of quarry workers. The ca. 1858 Tenant House exhibits a turn-of-the-century general store.

Other buildings in the Museum Village include the ca. 1860 Bunker Hill Schoolhouse, moved to the grounds from Alexandria Township, and a replica log cabin, modeled on the early 18th century childhood home of local Revolutionary War general Daniel Morgan. An herb garden, springhouse, wagon sheds and corncrib are also open to visitors.
