Shepherd's Mill, Historic gristmill in Shepherdstown, United States.
The mill stands along Town Run near its junction with the Potomac River, featuring a 40-foot-diameter steel overshot wheel installed in 1894.
Thomas Shepherd Senior constructed this two-story mill before 1739, and workers added a third floor during the late nineteenth century modifications.
The mill represents early American industrial development, serving as a central point for grain processing and agricultural commerce in Jefferson County.
The structure remains under private ownership, requiring advance arrangements for visits to examine the engineering features and historical architecture.
The Fitz Water Wheel Company manufactured and installed the current steel wheel mechanism, which exemplifies late nineteenth-century milling technology.
