Jerusalem Mill
The five story
mill, built by Isaiah Linton, millwright, and David Lee, owner. It
was begun in 1769 and finished in 1772.
It is located along the
"Little Falls of the Gunpowder." Flour under the label "White Silk" was shipped locally,
and around the
world from Joppatown and Baltimore. It was known as
Lee's Merchant Mill until the 1870s, and it was one
of the largest mills in Maryland. It was used as a mill until 1961.
