The village is at the intersection of Jerusalem and Jericho roads; part of the historic area is within the jurisdiction of the Gunpowder Park. The village consists of twelve historic standing structures, all centered on the once­ flourishing Jerusalem Mill, built in 1772. These stone or stone and frame vernacular style structures, irregularly placed on large lots and shaded by aged oaks and pines, together form a rare example of a complete and self­ sufficient rural industrial community that had its beginnings with the American advent of the industrial revolution. The entire village -- consisting of mill, miller's house, domestic outbuildings, supporting sawmill, coopershop, black­ smith shop, mill worker's house, farmhouse, and general store/post office -- was essentially in place by 1814 when David Lee I, the then-owner, was assessed for 7 buildings (6 of the 7 still standing); all others were added by 1880. Remarkably, no permanent structures except for a mid-twentieth century bridge on Jerusalem Road at the Little Gunpowder Falls, have been added since the Lees left in 1886. For General Description see Continuation Sheet No. 1, Section 7. HA-1145 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Jerusalem Mill Village Section number __7__ Page __l_ Harford County, Maryland GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Jerusalem Mill Village is nestled on a small, pristine level area of land adjacent to the Little Gunpowder Falls at the Fall Line in Harford Ccunty, Maryland; the surrounding acreage now looks much as it did when the Lee family built and owned the mill and village between 1772 and 1886. The village is surround­ ecS. by only two properties: a large, flourishing farm called The Mound to the north and east, while the State of !·~aryland, Depart­ ment of Natural Resources, owns the land to the south and west as ~art of the Gunpowder State Park. In the following Building Inventory, buildings are geared to le accompanying sketch map and are numbered 1 through 12; in ~jdition, Maryland Historical Trust· Historic Sites Inventory numbers (e.g., HA-433), ~istoric American Buildings Survey data, and street addresses are included whenever possible. (In this rural part of the state, however, residents do not always bother with street numbers.) 1. Jerusalem Mill (HA 433); 1772 (datestone}; interior continuousl modified throughout mid 19th century (HABS MD 13-Jeru.-1 Erected by the Quaker miller David Lee (1740-1816) this exceptional building is probably the oldest extant mill in northeastern Maryland, and has been called both "elegant" and "one of the most impr1ssive of all 18th century mills still .standing in Maryland" . Measuring 36' x 60', "the four storied ·building serves as a visual ·anchor· for the surrounding area. The ground floor and the partially enclosed basement to the rear are composed of local fieldstone laid in rubble bond, measuring two to three feet in thickness. The steeply sloping gable roof 1John W. McGrain, Grist Mills in Baltimore County, (Towson: Baltimore County Public Library, 1980), p.2; Letter from Mark R.

Although much of the interior framing and woodwork has been altered in the 19th century, many original architectural features still exist, such as the two foot square white oak post located at the corners of each floor of the building. Similar chamfered posts are also placed in intermediate positions in the floor and serve to shoulder large oak beams that span the ceiling and support each upper floor. The corner posts, mortised, tenoned and pegged with large treenails, are for the most part structurally sound. Later 19th century mill equipment, notably the two sets of grinding stones, as well as large storage bins and canvas conveyor belts, are also of interest and importance. Unfortunately, the large sixteen foot di~eter water wheel of the overshot type is no longer in place" • When the water wheel system was replaced in the 19th centu­ ry, two turbines were installed in a penstock, fed by a wooden flume and completely boxed in. The penstock is now awash in water, but the output shafts of the two turbines still rise up from the rusted housings. 2. 2807 Jerusalem Road; Jerusalem House (HA-431) c. 1800; c. 1840; c. 1869 Locally called the Mansion House, this handsome 2i story stuccoed stone and frame dwelling was probably built in three stages by David Lee I (1780-1816), Ralph S. Lee (1780-1862), and David Lee II (1808-1886). The main (c. 1800) unit of the dwelling is five bays long below a slate covered gable roof; principal entrance in the center bay of the west facade. This entrance has a wide, mounded panel door with a two-light transom. Windows in the first story are nine lights over six; those on the second elevation are six over six. All windows have louvered shutters. The interior of this section is laid out in a classic through center hall plan. The stairway has a turned newel and handrail, pine treads, and scroll brackets on each step. A plain fireplace is in the center of the south wall of the south room. 2Edwards to Cheers. --- ---~-------- United t;tc.tes Dep£rtm!:nt of the- lntc rior Nctloncl Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination Form JERUSALEM MILL VILLAGE Continuation sheet Harford County, Maryl and Item number 7 Page 3 In the north room, there is also a fireplace and beaded wainscoting.

  • A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State Of
    A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State of Maryland Robert C. Chidester Masters of Applied Anthropology Program Department of Anthropology University of Maryland at College Park Submitted to the Maryland Historical Trust In Partial Fulfillment of a Maryland Heritage Internship Grant December 2003 Revised Version, March 2004 Abstract This report presents a historic context for industrial labor in the state of Maryland. Industrial labor is defined as the socially-governed activity of transforming nature for the purpose of the efficient processing and manufacture of commercial goods. Labor’s heritage as represented in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, the Maryland Archaeological Site Records, and selected secondary sources is surveyed following the geographical and chronological guidelines presented in the Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (Weissman 1986). Types of industry and labor, class relations, the labor movement and the social and domestic lives of industrial laborers are all considered; additionally, industrialization in Maryland is linked to other important themes in the state’s history. An overview of the archaeology of industrial labor is given for each of Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City, emphasizing important excavations. An analysis of the state of labor archaeology in Maryland is given, along with suggestions for important research themes that have been thus far unaddressed or poorly addressed by Maryland archaeologists. i Table of Contents Abstract.....................................................................................i

These institutions engage visitors through all kinds of programs and activities – like visiting the homes of four signers of the Declaration of Independence, riding in an open-air trolley car, or browsing newspaper ads seeking runaway slaves. Through museums, heritage tourists and local residents experience authentic connections to the state’s rich and complex heritage. In the course of developing PreserveMaryland, the state’s five-year preservation plan, MHT recognized the need to re-evaluate the Program’s offerings, based on the museum community’s current needs and the cessation of grant funding in 2011. In September 2013, MHT launched a formal needs assessment to answer the following questions: • What is the constituency of the Museum Assistance Program? • What are the needs of that constituency? • What programs will best serve that constituency? • How should the Museum Assistance Program relate to other programs offered? This paper is the culmination of the needs assessment process, which opened with a statewide survey.
