1. Miller's House Marker

Inscription. This stone house, constructed around the same time as the Mill, was where the Miller of Rock Run resided. He did not necessarily own the Mill, but was paid to operate it. He took his "pottle", or fee, from each bushel he ground (approximately 1/8th of a bushel). The Miller's House is thought to have also been used as an inn for travelers along the road and/or canal in the mid 1800's.
