The mill operated into the mid 1990's, when it was bought out by Davis Mills of Rushland in Warwick Township, Bucks County. It is still being operated as a feed mill and farm supply store. An earlier associated mill structure from the mid to late 1800's, Freed's Hay House, located east on 7th St. near Race St., was torn down in May 1998.
