The Bondsville Mill Park is a 47 acre parcel that is being transformed into a space for passive recreation, preserving nature, and a historic site. For more than 100 years, from about 1841 to 1950, Bondsville Mill played an important role in American history. In its infancy, it was a center of industry for the region. Mills were located all along the Beaver Creek, in West Brandywine and Caln townships.

Our Goals |
|
East Brandywine Township acquired the mill in 2005 using open space funds. Work to clean up the property and make the collapsed buildings safe has been ongoing by a dedicated group of volunteers ever since. The park opened to the public in 2014.

When complete, the park will have three main components: the historic Mill; the natural areas with two miles of trails, gardens, and picnic areas.
