Ivy Mills Historic District
Ivy Mills Historic District, Industrial heritage site in Concord Township, US.
The Ivy Mills Historic District contains a paper mill from 1829, a clerk's house from 1830, and a mansion house built in 1837.
Thomas Willcox established the second oldest paper mill in America in 1729, producing paper for Benjamin Franklin and the Continental government during the American Revolution.
The district includes Saint Mary's Chapel, established in 1730, which became the first Roman Catholic parish in Pennsylvania within the Ivy Mills Mansion.
The 38.4-acre district maintains structural remains and buildings that demonstrate the evolution of paper manufacturing from the 18th through the 19th centuries.
The mill produced specialized paper for Continental bills, loan certificates, and currency for both the United States and numerous South American countries until 1886.
