The mill is owned by a gentleman who also owns several surrounding farms.
Letort Spring Run begins west of Pa 34 & slightly north of Pa 174 in South Middleton Twp. and empties into the Conodoquinet Creek in Middlesex Twp. after flowing through and to the northeast of Carlisle
An unidentified clump of wildflowers near the edge of Letort Spring Run by the mill.
Bonny Brook Road Grist Mill showing loading dock and an insulated warehouse. The windows of the mill structure are mostly boarded over and the door to the waerehouse appears insulated, so presumably, the mill was lately a storage facility for a company whose product required insulation. The property is for sale as are a number of surrounding farms; although, it is not known if the sale features all the properties together or if they can be sectioned.
