Built - c1850 by Henry Von Neida, 40X50, 2.5, stone mill.

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.
