Pictures by: Jim Miller 07/17/2007 - The Coffeetown Grist Mill, built in 1762, became the center of the community of Coffeetown on Frys Run, seven miles south of Easton, Pa. The grist mill, while grinding wheat for flour and other grains for livestock feeds for local farmers, also served as, at times,as a post office, a candy store and even a schoolhouse.

Pictures by: Jim Miller 07/17/2007 - A view of the 1820 stone miller's house from Kressman Road approaching Fry's Run. Kressman Road, now separating the mill and the house, was non-existant in 1825. The road coming down off the hill from the left, that today is Kressman Road, was then a narrow dirt track that continued past the mill the north side of Frys Run to the Delaware River about 1/4th mile to the east.

Pictures by: Jim Miller 07/17/2007 - The datestone on the gable end of the 1820 stone Miller's house across Kressman Road from the mill. A stone addition was built, in the 1820's, on the rear of the mill to house the once external overshot waterwheel. Much of the text for the mill borrowed from Gordy Callison.
