Nestled
in
the
heart
of
the
thriving
farming
community
of
Eastern
Lancaster
County,
Pennsylvania,
stands
the
Mascot
Mill.
It
is
a
classic
example
of
a
nineteenth
century
flour
mill.
The
original
structure
was
built
in
the
mid
1730's
and
was
raised
to
its
present
height
in
the
early
1800's.
Water
powered
mills
were
an
important
part
of
colonial
life.
They
were
found
throughout
the
countryside
on
just
about
every
stream
with
sufficient
power
and
were
centers
of
activity.
Heavy
wagons,
bursting
with
grain,
would
pull
up
to
the
doors
of
the
mill
after
harvest.
Farmers
would
heave
their
sacks
up
near
the
huge
mill
stones
which
never
seemed
to
stop
turning
...
always
at
work.
Artist
Richard
Bollinger
has
captured
this
historic
landmark,
now
at
rest,
in
his
most
recent
painting,
Mascot
Mill.
As
it
appears,
wonderfully
restored,
the
Mascot
Mill
represents
over
two
centuries
of
milling
history.
But
more
importantly,
it
gives
us
a
window
to
our
past.
Except
for
the
sounds
of
an
occasional
buggy,
it
stands
as
a
marvelous
monument
to
days
gone.
