London Vale Mill

This mill site dates back to before 1748 when Samuel Lefever, the son of Isaac Lefever built a mill here. The mill transferred to the Eshleman family after Samuel’s death in 1779 and has been owned by Eshlemans ever since. The current structure was built in 1787. Milling operations ended in 1939.
