Our Vision

The Friends of Jerusalem Mill envision a society that values the role that history plays in our understanding of the human experience and one which is committed to both preserving and exploring the past as a means to forge a better future.

Our Mission

The Mission of the Friends of Jerusalem Mill is to inspire its immediate community and the public at large to engage in their shares history through the exploration and preservation of the history of Jerusalem Mill Village and the surrounding Little Gunpowder Falls Valley, from its prehistoric origins to 1961.

It achieves this by working in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to preserve, protect, restore, research, collect and interpret the Village's historical, cultural, environmental, and natural resources, while providing creative educational opportunities for all ages.
