Being from Maryland, we are required to enjoy all things that are replicas of others in miniature, so I’m sure you will enjoy this place.
Welcome to Jerusalem Mill Villiage, an area that is being restored to its historic appearance with the help of the state park and the friends of Jerusalem Mills. Their end goal is to turn it into a sort of Williamsburg in miniature.
They have done a really great job of using rather limited resources to create a very authentic feel. The museum in the mill building tells the whole story of the mill and bridge (featured yesterday) and adjacent buildings as well as the efforts being made to save them. If you visit on a sunday you can also enjoy the working blacksmith shop and the general store, which was looted by the confederates during the civil war. The mill building itself has been rebuilt as best as possible to historic specifications and now houses the museum as well as the park headquarters for Gunpowder falls state park.

don’t think i haven’t noticed that your “daily” photos are being posted LATER and LATER in the day. you already skipped one weekday (february 15!) and you were only minutes away from missing today’s daily photo.

Well
I’m sorry to create any posting timeline confusion. Let me clarify the process a bit because I certainly don’t want people to thing that they aren’t getting a daily photo to brighten their workday.
The weekday during which there was no post was was actually President’s Day. So as a Federal Holiday, I thought it best not to post. Also, I post the pictures the night before the day they are intended to be read. Today’s was posted last night just before midnight.

Dear MDDP,
No mention of the gun factory? Scandalous!

[...] pointed out in the comments, the author of a prior post made a terrible oversight in this photo as they didn’t emphasise the building you see here: [...]
