John Herr

Earliest mill on site was a saw mill, built 1759 to mid 1760's. The mill & property were sold to John Herr who in turn handed off to his son, Abraham, a "grist & saw mill. This 36'X 40' 3.5 story stone grist mill was built in 1768 by John Herr, and operated by Abraham until he died in 1800. John Herr, Abraham's son, started building the new 40'X 50' 3.5 story stone mill in 1822 and it was completed in that year by John's son & wife, Samuel & Fannie Herr. Henry Herr married Samuels's widow in 1839.
