DATE: 02012024; Taylorstown Mill, which has gone by many names over the years. This stone and clapboard building was not the first built, but was an updated rebuild by Henry Taylor, who had inherited his father’s mill in 1797. Incorporating a fully-mechanized “Oliver Evans system”, this mill reopened in 1800. The new 1854 Furnace Mountain Road connected the mill directly to the new bridge over to Point of Rocks, Maryland, and with it, both the C & O Canal and the B & O Railroad to ship his grain.
