Keener's Mill and the Ridge of Death Tales in Lancaster County
One of Lancaster county's oldest water powered grist mills is Keener's Mill on Little Chickies Creek near Milton Grove in Rapho township. The mill, built by Rider and later owned by Joseph Keener, preserves fine interior finish and a large water wheel. Nearby is an old log cabin linked to romantic early settler days and local tragedies along The Ridge of Death, a site once haunted by tales of murder and fatal accidents. The area, once bleak with primitive scenery, became fertile farmland, and the cabin endures as a silent relic of pioneer times.
