Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 01/21/2005 - D. Miller's Grist & Saw Mill was probably built between 1766 and 1799. The limestone miller's house across the road was built in this time bracket, so as mills were many time built before the house, it is probably just as old or older than the miller's house.

Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey, edited by Jim Miller 01/21/2005 - The 10' high Miller dam was built in 1908 for the Mechanicsburg Gas & Water Company. The mill was still owned by the Mechanicsburg Water Co. in 1930; but today, the limestone ediface contains the modern filtration plant of the United Water Co.
