The Peirce Mill and Estate
Peirce Mill was built in the 1820's, and operated commercially until 1897. The United States Government acquired the mill as part of Rock Creek Park in 1892. Currently the mill is not operating. It is being preserved and ultimately will be made operable again when sufficient funding for repairs is made available. Peirce Mill is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Did You Know?
The phrase “Keeping your nose to the grindstone” is a milling term. When in operation, the miller would open a small door above the millstones and smell the grains. If smoke or a burning odor was detected, the stones were too close to each other.
