The mill was located outside the town of Orwigsburg, along Mahonney Creek, which flows from Second Mountain. The mill was primarily used for grinding corn meal and hulling oats, using a 20-foot overshot water wheel, and later switching to a turbine system. The Bohrman family has surviving members in Orwigsburg, and several other places throughout Pennsylvania. * Mill Site -Early 1900s Trolley Tracks
