Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 04/08/2006 - *Update: A few years ago the mill was bought by Randy Liebig and since then, he has been slowly restoring it using some rather unique artifacts and antiques in a labor of love. His efforts at restoration were printed in an article in the Reading, Pa. Eagle a few years ago. Jack Mumma 11/12/2004*

Directions: Take right turn onto Palm Rd. from U.S. 422 going from Wernersville to Robsonia. In 1/2 mile turn right onto Wooltown Rd. Mill is on right if still standing. If not there, check the other direction on Wooltown Rd. to Spring Rd. Possibly another mill 2 miles from Palm Rd. on Wooltown Rd. to Hain Mill Rd. Follow Hain Mill Rd. 1 mile to Heffner Rd. Mill??
