Visit historic Pottsgrove Manor on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 1 p.m. for a talk entitled “Grist for the Mill.”
While most people know John Potts as a prominent colonial ironmaster, few realize that he also owned a number of grist mills in the area. In this program, historian Dan Graham will speak about the mills that were owned by the Potts family and their importance to the region.

There is a suggested donation of $2 per person for the lecture.
