Berks Co. Pennsylvania  The mill site is marked off with millstones and a stone back wall just NW of the miller's stone house. A stone and frame barn completes the setting. The mill was built by John Kurtz in 1797. The 70'X 70' 3.5 stone mill had a 1300' headrace, a 1300' tailrace, and a dam height of 10'. One turbine and one overshot wheel powered the sometimes flour, grist and sawmill, with the maximum output of flour listed as 24 bbls/day. The mill was closed by Charles Kurtz in 1929 and sometime thereafter, either burned or was torn away. It was also known as John and Jacob Morgan's Grist Mill. Chester Co. Pennsylvania  The mill is shown on an 1860 atlas of Chester Co. as B. Ackland Gisrt and Saw Mill. |
