Pennsylvania, Delaware County- Glen Mills, Newlin Grist Mill, Water wheel (6,052c)
The Newlin Grist Mill was built in 1704 with the water wheel on the outside of the building. Sometime after 1817, the mill's water wheel was enclosed on the bottom floor of the mill. A dam on Chester Creek and a half-mile mill race diverted water to power the mill. The water exits underground through a tailrace and travels about 150 yards back to Chester Creek. In 2014, the mill was operational. The mill building is a contributing property of the Newlin Mill Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
