Simpsonville Mill, Pre-colonial mill complex in Simpsonville, Maryland.
The mill structure stands on the west side of Cedar Lane at Guilford Road, incorporating both flour milling and textile production facilities along the Middle Patuxent River.
Built in the mid-1700s, the mill changed ownership multiple times, from John Hobbs Jr in 1741 to the Iglehart brothers who operated it as a sawmill until 1915.
The mill site represents industrial development in Maryland, with archaeological investigations revealing over 42,000 artifacts documenting commercial activities spanning two centuries.
The mill complex includes ruins beneath Cedar Lane bridge, adjacent to the James and Anne Robinson Nature Center, accessible for historical research and documentation.
The mill employed an uncommon breast wheel power system, setting it apart from other gristmills of its time in Maryland.
