BRODHEADSVILLE, PA.18322
I became a resident of the village Brodheadsville in 1989. I never thought I would ever live in a village, but here I am! In my effort to learn more about the area known as Pleasant Valley, I researched the history of the land in this area. I learned about the early settlers and how the town developed from the properties of a few of its earliest landholders. "STAMFORD HEIGHT'S" follows the history of a 384 acre tract of land originally owned by a Mary Carr, and how her holdings were traced from 1791 to the present Stamford Heights properties. This was the last land parcel which was part of her original tract. Note also that the MAPS and PLOTS have been updated (6/04) and will now display better. "MILLS OF BRODHEADSVILLE" tells of the investigation of the two local mills situated on McMichaels Creek. A grist mill called "Wagner's", and a grist mill called "Geisinger's" or the "Red Mill", supplied the local population with ground corn and flour. It also touches on the ruins of a third mill and a barn built in 1861 and demolished in the 1990's. GEISINGER'S "RED MILL" RECONSTRUCTION PHOTOS and things BRODHEADSVILLE
