This millstone, which dates prior to the American Revolution, came from Dutch Corner in Bedford County. Jim Karns found it in 1985 while doing construction work near Imlertown. The mill from which it came is unknown. This stone, which weighs about 1000 pounds, was used for grinding corn, wheat, rye, and barley into flour. Joel and Rachel (Karns) Riggle donated the stone to the museum in 2012.| HM Number | HM1PPP |
