Built - 1779 by Jacob Becker, 45X50, 3.5, stone mill.

AKA - Ressler's Mill

It is believed a one story stone mill was built c1779 by Becker. The second story added c1800by Ben Longnecker, and a third story added c1855 by David or Sam Groff. It is easy to see by the stone work that additions have been made. In 1969 it was Ressler's Mascot Mill and in 1994 it was Mascot Mill Museum, as it is today. There is a beautiful miller's house, dam, and millrace. This is one of the best examples of a grist mill complex in Lancaster Co. today. Condition - Exceptional - A museum
