The 44’ X 55’ 3.5 story limestone mill was later owned by Dr. John S. Simons (probably during the Theological Seminary ownership). It was at times a grist mill and also a cider mill. There is a county campground located at the associated farm that the mill was once a part of. It was also known as the Donegal Mill, as were several others in the area, creating some confusion.
