Verse for Thought
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
({Galations 2:20 NKJV})

Initially water powered from the Perkiomen Creek, the mill was powered by two turbines. In 1987, plans were for restoration of the aged structure.
