A Brief History of Wye Mills, Maryland
A grist mill has been working in the
little village of Wye Mills since the late 1600s. Richard
Sweatman operated a saw mill and two grist mills in 1706,
and the village then became known as Wye Mills.
Today, only one grist mill remains
standing and continues to operate as a living museum. The
mill dates back to circa 1681. Restoration of the mill was
completed in 1990 under the direction of Preservation
Maryland and a lot of hard work and effort of local
residents.
The Wye Oak, Maryland's State Tree,
reigns supreme at 450 years old with its own twenty-acre
park. The Wye Church, circa 1721, has been restored and is
one of the oldest Episcopal churches in America. The church
features high box pews, a hanging pulpit and original silver
communion pieces.
Wye Mills evolved from a mill town that
supplied Washington's troops at Valley Forge with ground
wheat during the American Revolution to a community with
historic gems worth seeing.
