Welcome to the Historic Jerusalem Mill Village.
The village began taking shape before Harford County was established, and even before there was a United States of America. Today, the village still includes the Grist Mill, Miller’s House, Blacksmith Forge, Tenant House, McCourtney’s General Store, Jerusalem Mansion, Bank Barn, Springhouse, two-story Smokehouse/Dairy, and another residence. The Jericho Covered Bridge is located adjacent to the village. All of the buildings were built in the 1700s or 1800s, and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Friends of Jerusalem Mill is delighted to invite you to come and explore the past through living history; see our preservation of historical architecture and participate in the role that history plays in understanding the human experience.
Our Beginning
Our story began in 1772, when Lee’s Merchant Mill opened for business on the north bank of the Little Gunpowder Falls. Through time, the mill became the centerpiece of a small Quaker village, and the business evolved from grinding the area’s grain to serving more of the local farming community’s needs.
Historic Preservation
Pursuing our mission to preserve the Historic Jerusalem Mill Village for the enjoyment of generations to come, Friends of Jerusalem Mill (FOJM) has worked closely with our partners to restore, reconstruct, preserve and maintain all of the buildings in the Village, to include the adjacent covered bridge.
Living History
As a nearly intact mill village from the 1770s, Jerusalem is a perfect setting for living history interpretation and storytelling.
