Aka Abbeville Mill
The first mill at this location was built around 1717, making this one of the oldest mill sites in Lancaster County. It served as a grist mill until 1899 when it became part of the West End Park, later called Maple Grove. For more details, see my blog entry about this mill here: Mill Monday 02 – Maple Grove.
