Pictures by: Jim Miller 10/31/1992 - A fairly large mill of dimensions 45'x60', 2.5 stories above the ground. The building is contructed of a rather curious reddish sandstone with morter that is stained fron the rock. Seems structurally sound on the exterior. Need more Information on this one.

Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 06/20/2006 - The mill is devoid of milling machinery with the exception of a steel overshot wheel in place in fair condition. Some of the flooring supports and interior structure is lacking in sturdiness and care is needed while inside, that only with supervision from Game Lands Maintenance Personnel.

Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 06/20/2006 - The Lebanon County Historical Society met in the 1990's, expressed interest in somehow preserving the milling structure, but lacked funding to do so. The Game Commission owns the mill but is not interested in the preservation of the structure. That is where the situation is stymied for the last 20 years.
