The stone mill was built by John Waggoner in 1805.

Henry R. Wentzel & Sons bought the mill in 1925 and by 1935, had made some major improvements and rebuilding of the main mill structure.

The date stone from the original builder, John Wagoner. Waggoner operated the mill until his death in 1834; then, the mill was deeded to Joseph McClure, then to William A. Snyder in 1854.

McClure and Snyder partnered the operation of the mill from 1854 until McClure died in 1861 and Snyder much later in 1893. The millrace entrance into the mill, tyhe water passing thriough the barscreen to remove large limbs and debris.

Some storage for flour in a warehouse kept up off the ground to help prevent dampness from getting into the flour and causing it to sour and mold.

Another view of the outlet arch & the millrace that runs behind (overflow) and through the structure that was used to direct the flow of water to turn the turbines. The Wolf Mill and mixer were used into the late 1960;s, then a Magic Marvel Flour Mill was installed in 1973.

A flood several years ago crippled the internal waterwheel. A diesel engine power unit is kept ready as a backup for operation power. Repairs to the wheel are ongoing and 82 year old Miles L. Wentzel hopes to have it operational sometime in 2007. Millrace repairs have just been completed. The Wentzels operate this mill and also another mill at S. 4th & Bloomfield Ave. in Newport, Pa.
