There were two earlier mills on this site. One
source says the first was built c1738 by Christian
Guth (Good) of log. Another source says the first
was built c1740 by Jacob Good. The second mill was
built c1780 by John Good. The mill was in the Good
family for over 100 years. The Von Neida family
also operated the mill for c100 years. In 2004 the
mill is a historical museum. Water runs through the
millrace and the saw mill. The millrace is about
1/4 to 1/2 mi. long. Condition - Very good.
