Why this spot
1823-1940s mill and ashery village
Village platted in 1823 by John Frederick Herring in a valley where Slater's Run meets the Clear Fork of the Mohican River, with mills, an ashery making pearl ash and nearby pennyroyal distilleries. It was ordered abandoned in the 1940s when an Army Corps of Engineers dam put it at risk of flooding.View source →
