John Moore’s Mill

John Moore's Mill

The remains of John Moore’s 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.
