The grist and sawmill, built in 1767 on the Swamp Creek, supplied ground grain and sawn lumber to generations of farmers in the surrounding countryside, and to the troops during the American Revolution. The cluster of buildings within the boundaries of the 200-acre site, located in the Townships of Upper and Lower Frederick and Limerick, includes a mid-nineteenth century house and bank barn.  Following renovations, the site will be open to the public.
