Come down and tour the historic 1820 Durham Grist Mill also known as the William & Jane Long Grill Mill of Durham Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The mill was on the ruins of the 1726 Durham Iron Furnace run at one time by signer of the Declaration of Independence, George Taylor. Taylor was also a supplier of valuable goods as well as shot and shell used by gen. Washington’s Continental army in the Revolutionary War. The site is home to a replica of a Durham boat, used for transporting goods and famously “confiscated” by Gen. Washington for his Delaware River crossing. The grist mill remains largely unchanged since its closing in 1967 with much of its original machinery remaining within its walls.
