Red Run Mill

Aka Overholtzer’s Mill

Red Run Mill

Samuel Martin built the first mill here as early as 1772. Menno Eberly built a new mill in 1894. That mill burned the same year as was rebuilt. Milling operations ended in 1948.

In 1959, Leroy Sensenig restored the mill as a tourist attraction and constructed the Red Run Campground around the mill pond.

The mill is located at 851 Martin Church Road, New Holland, PA.
