Wash Creek Mill

From Pa 443 in the village of Wehr, go west about 0.5 miles to Villas Crossing Rd./T940. Turn right and drive to an S turn in the road. There will be a dirt road to the right. The mill sits back the dirt road about 500'-800', on Wash Creek, a tributary to Mahoning Creek.

Verse for Thought
"My people will realize that I, the Lord their God, sent them away as prisoners and now will bring back to their own land. Never again will Iturn my back on the people of Israel, and my Spririt will live in them. I, the Lord, have spoken."
({Ezekiel 39:28 & 29 CEV})

The mill has been magnificently and attractively renovated into a private residence.

A extension on the back of the mill of matching stone measures about 25'X 30', probably built when renovated. A deck also fills out the opposite corner of the rear of the mill connecting the mill with the addition.
