The Centerville Flour Mill sits along Garfield Road south-east of Mount Joy. You might not notice that it is a mill because most of the mill is gone. All that is left is a small building that sits atop the turbine. The turbine still works and is connected to an electrical generator. The owner, who lives across the street, has a huge collection of mill stones.

The mill is located at 4035 Garfield Road, Mount Joy, PA.
