Step Back in Time at Jerusalem Mill

Jerusalem Mill 2813 Jerusalem Road, Kingsville, United States

Discover the rich history of Jerusalem Mill Village, once a thriving commercial mill that connected rural Maryland to the world. At its peak, Lee’s Mill produced 20 barrels of flour daily, including the renowned “White Silk Flour,” filtered through silk for unmatched purity. This flour became a staple for Baltimore’s Jewish community, who ensured its kosher standards by observing the milling process. From here, barrels of flour traveled down the Little Gunpowder Falls to Baltimore’s port, reaching markets across the globe. As you explore the village, you’ll hear fascinating tales of resilience and rebellion—from an 1864 Confederate raid led by Major Harry Gilmor to the incredible treks of Samuel O. McCourtney, who walked 18 miles to Baltimore and back well into his 80s. This is a walking and standing tour, with some buildings lacking modern heating or cooling, so dress accordingly. A portion of your registration fee supports the preservation and restoration of this historic site. Reserve your spot today!
