Friedensthal mill history and Moravian settlement narrative
Local records recount the 1750 Moravian Friedensthal mill project led by Henry Antes and John Nitschmann. The 324 acre tract bought from William Allen by Antes funded a new mill near the Barony site, with lovefeast ceremonies and the Gemeinhaus completed by spring 1751. The narrative lists early families Michler Criste Muecke and Krause as original residents and notes subsequent land additions from Penn and others expanding Friedensthal’s farm and mill complex.
