John Moore’s Mill

The remains of John Moore’s Mill sits along Garfield Road south-east of Mount Joy. You might not notice that it is a mill because most of the mill is gone. All that is left is a small building that sits atop the turbine. The turbine still works and is connected to an electrical generator.

Martin Greider built the first mill here in 1804. John H. Moore purchased the mill in 1864. Milling operations ended when the mill was destroyed by fire in 1905. In 1906, it was converted to generate electrical power which it still does today.
