Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 02/18/2006 - Millstream Farms Inn, the miller's house, was built in 1813 by John Bachman and designed by Thomas Jefferson. The 1803 grain mill preceded the house as was common in most early industrial enterprises and even early farms. The grounds today are best described by checking the website for the bed & Breackfast above the first picture. Most it certainly has been used for weddings, etc.

Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 02/18/2006 - The secluded limsestone grist and flour mill was constructed to measure 40'X 60'. The main inlet arch near the rear corner of the mill has been partially filled in with rock and frame material.

Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey - The two outer arches that are rock in were the original exits for the water discharged after powering the internal mill wheel or turbines that powered the entire train of equipment to grind the grain into flour and grist into livestock feed.

Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 02/18/2006 - Another outlet arch can be seen if one looks carefully about halfway down the length of the mill. It has also been rock and mortered in. It was here where water that was not needed, or excess water was expelled back to the creek.

Directions: About one mile east of Fontana on US 322, turn right onto Pa 241, proceed about 500 yds, turn right on a loop road that goes back to the creek then turns right and reconnects with US 322. The mill is in the middle of this loop.
