Historic Jerusalem Mill Village is a living history destination that spans the 18th through the early 20th centuries. One of the oldest, most intact mill villages in Maryland, Jerusalem is located in Harford County along the Little Gunpowder Falls, amid the pristine scenery of the Gunpowder Falls State Park.

 

FOJM has been recognized for its volunteer efforts by the Preserve America Stewards Program, a national initiative developed in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the U.S. Department of Interior and other agencies. The White House letter of recognition comes through the efforts of the FOJM Education Committee spearheaded by Andrea Staschak and Glenn Porter. Our application included a letter from Harford County Executive, David Craig, recognizing our volunteer efforts. Our national listing can be found at www.PreserveAmerica.gov.

About the Friends of Jerusalem Mill!

The Friends of Jerusalem Mill (FOJM) is a 501(c)(3) organization formed in 1985 to restore Jerusalem's gristmill and adjacent buildings, which had fallen into severe disrepair. In 1987 Jerusalem Mill Village earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1995 the Maryland Department of Natural Resources designated the gristmill as headquarters of the Gunpowder Falls State Park.

Over the years, FOJM activities and achievements have expanded in many ways. The organization remains dedicated to restoring, preserving, and interpreting the 18th and 19th century Jerusalem Mill Village.

FOJM always welcomes and appreciates new members!

Member benefits include periodic newsletters with information about special events and activities, as well as invitations to the annual spring dinner and the holiday tour of historic homes in December. Members are also encouraged to become actively involved in committees and other important village work. FOJM holds regular meetings on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in the mill building.
