Built by Abraham Swigart in 1794 near the junction of Beaver Creek and the Great Conewago Creek, it is the only original mill on Beaver Creek still standing. A stone tablet in the west wall is inscribed with the mason's name, John Nagel.  It was originally powered by water from the creek, which turned the interior wooden water wheel.

During the two hundred years since the Mill was built, it has had twenty-six owners.  In 1920 operations at the Mill were abandoned and in 1976 it was purchase3d by the society. Mush of the restoration work to this Mill was completed by volunteers. It is host to the annual Christmas Party and Strawberry Festival for membership.
