Friends of the Wolf Creek Grist
Mill Group - A wonderful, amazing organization!
Around 1998, my family & I were camping at Mohican State Park when we discovered the Wolf Creek Grist Mill there. It had been neglected
for years, no windows or doors, leaking roof, unsafe
floors & a walk bridge that could barely support
itself. Upon inquiring as to what was going
to be done with the historic mill, I was informed that
the Parks did not have the funding to make any repairs
and it was slated for demolition. Being a historic restoration
contractor my whole life, I felt there had to be a way
to save this wonderful building. That’s when the
idea was born to form a non-profit, Friends
of the Mill Group.
In the beginning, there was some skepticism as whether
such a huge undertaking could be successful, but that
skepticism has long since disappeared. Together
with community leaders, the all-volunteer friends group
was formed in 2000. The group leases the
mill and about 50 acres from Mohican State Park.

Today
the Wolf Creek Grist Mill has been restored to operating condition &
the Fromme Cabin that was moved to the property several
years ago is completed and is our new welcome center.
An 1880 saw mill and 7 other historic log cabins have
been donated & moved to the site for restoration.
Our overall
plan is the completion of an historic village on the
property, in order to preserve a vanishing part of our
heritage for future generations to enjoy & learn
from.
I am very proud to be able to work with such an amazing
group of dedicated people! - Mark
