A Montgomery County Landmark comes Back to Life

Historic Sunrise Mill Reopens to the Public

A piece of Montgomery County history is coming back to life. Sunrise Mill in Schwenksville is preparing to reopen to the public after being closed for more than 50 years.

The historic property dates back to 1767 and includes a gristmill, reconstructed sawmill, farmhouse, barn and stone arch bridge. Montgomery County has been restoring the site for years, with the goal of preserving its history while creating a place the community can enjoy.

An official reopening celebration is planned for October 17 at 10am at 3431 Neifer Rd in Schwenksville, featuring a ribbon-cutting, fall festivities, food trucks, live music and tours of the restored mill.

For local residents, the reopening offers a chance to step inside one of Montgomery County’s historic landmarks and see how preservation efforts are bringing new life to a site that has been part of the area for centuries.
