Great Valley Grist Mill Keeps Grinding Since 1710
Built in 1710 by Thomas Jerman near Philadelphia the Great Valley grist mill on Valley Creek still produces about 10 barrels daily. Once powered by wood machinery with hickory maple and gumwood cogwheels the mill relied on a water wheel and sheep tallow lubrication. It drew visitors along the Lincoln highway as a relic of a thriving pre Civil War industry facing decline with modern mills.
