About Jerusalem Mills
The 318-acre tract of land called Jerusalem was patented to Nicholas Hampstead and John Walley in 1687. By 1743, the tract had been acquired by an ironmaster, Stephen Onion, and had been enlarged to 368 acres with several buildings. When Onion died in 1750, his nephew, Zacheas Barrett Onion, acquired the property. Onion engaged Isaiah Linton of Bucks County, Pennsylvania to come to Jerusalem to construct a merchant grist mill and to improve a nearby ironworks and several other mills.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Jerusalem Mills
Linton was joined by his family and partner David Lee. He eventually built eight water-powered mills along the Little Gunpowder. The fourth mill, Jerusalem Mill, was completed in 1772 and is now the centerpiece of the living history village.
