Description
Lanterman's
Mill
is
located
three
miles
south
of
Youngstown
,
Ohio
.
It
was
built
in
1845-1846
by
German
Lanterman
and his
brother-in-law
,
Samuel
Kimberly
.
German
and his
wife
,
Sally
Ann
,
owned
a
large
tract
of
land
encompassing
the
area
around
the
falls
.
Lanterman's
Mill
was the
third
mill
to be
constructed
at the
falls
and was
used
solely
as a
grist
mill
.
It
is
believed
that this
mill
was
originally
powered
by an
over-shot
wheel
, but had been
converted
to
turbines
prior
to its
closing
in
1888
.
Although
Lanterman's
Mill
was a
highly
successful
operation
,
utilizing
three
sets
of
grinding
stones
,
it
is
speculated
that its
downfall
was
due
to the
advent
of
roller
mills
,
which
were
much
more
efficient
and
less
costly
to
run
. At the
end
of the
18th
century
,
all
the
land
surrounding
the
falls
belonged
to
John
Young
, the
founder
of
Youngstown
. In
August
1797
,
Isaac
Powers
and
Phineas
Hill
,
residents
of the
area
,
set
out
to
explore
the then
unnamed
Mill
Creek
.
After
recognizing
the
potential
for a
milling
enterprise
,
Hill
offered
to
purchase
the
300
acres
surrounding
the
falls
from
John
Young
.
Young
stipulated
that
Hill
must
build
a
saw
and
grist
mill
on the
site
within
eighteen
months
of the
date
of
purchase
. The
first
mill
(opted
1799-1822)
was
built
of
logs
obtained
on the
site
. The
millstones
were
cut
from
granite
boulders
that were
found
in the
area
. In
1823
it
was
replaced
by a
second
mill
.
Built
by
Eli
Baldwin
,
it
was a
frame
structure
that
served
only
as a
grist
mill
. In
1843
an
unprecedented
flood
washed
Baldwin's
mill
away
.
Today
,
one
of the
grinding
stones
from this
mill
can
still
be
seen
approximately
500
feet
downstream
of the
falls
.
