Despite the collection of millstones dotting the property, there is nothing ârun of the millâ about Diana and Ken Hillâs Mount Joy home.
The Georgian-style farmhouse on Garfield Road stands tall, representing a microcosm of Lancaster history â from mill to iron furnace to governorâs mansion to dairy farm to collectorâs paradise â this property has undergone more transformations than a wood frog.
A date stone uncovered beneath plaster reveals the home was completed in 1807 by Martin Greider. It is durable and functional, and it has been in Diana Hillâs family for a century.
âGrowing up, it was just an old farmhouse,â she said. âIt was pretty rough with no new carpet or paint, and one light bulb per room.â
