LOCAL HISTORY: Milford's mills, Metz Ice Plant; sawmills, hydropower


Tri-County Independent
MILFORD – Milford, Pike County, Pa., has a 200-year legacy of harnessing the power of water for industry. This heritage with the waterwheel is reflected in its name.
We are indebted to the late Pike County historian William F. Henn, who compiled much information for his small book, The Mills of Milford in 1968, drawing from many sources. Henn served as curator of the Pike County Historical Society, where the Research Library is named in his memory. Henn authored five books on local history. He died in 1984 at the age of 83.
There were numerous mills operating in Milford. Some drew power from the Vandermark Creek, others were powered from the Sawkill Creek, as their waters rushed to join the Delaware River on the village s eastern border. ....
