The Wetzel Mill Project

Our goal is to restore what we today call Wetzel's Mill, to a general 1890 - 1900 era appearance and tell the larger story of the Sumneytown area, in northern Montgomery county Pennsylvania, as a center of thriving industry and commerce in the 19th century.

Starting in 2017 the Marlborough Area Preservation Society (MAPS) has made progress in removing a ruin and recreating a version of what was on the site based on the ruin and photos.

That evolution can be seen on the 'Project' pages and continues!

Your Support & Involvement Is Welcome & Wanted

We are always looking for help in all forms -- from donations to hands-on volunteering work at the mill. To be part of this project, or if you have questions, please reach out to us. We would love to hear from you. With community support we will make this happen and enlarge the available knowledge of the area.
