The builder and operator of this mill is unknown but it was later called Englar's Mill. Mr. Ellsworth Englar installed a modern roller flour mill and a steel overshot wheel and also installed a steam engine later used during periods of low water.

The mill was sold to William Arbaugh and was operated by his brother, Simon Arbaugh, until the dam was washed out by a flood in the 1920's.

Since 1920 and 2008, the mill appears to have suffered the failure of its undepinning, supports and to have collapsed upon itself. The sack hoist appears to be the unly unaltered and recognizable feature.
