Please join us on a field trip to the Jerusalem Mill Village Covered Bridge on Sunday 15 March 2026. The address is 12228 Jericho Rd, Kingsville, MD 21087.
The Jerusalem Mill Village was established in 1772 before Harford County was established and even before the United States of America. Today, the village still includes the Grist Mill, Miller’s House, Blacksmith Forge, Tenant House, McCourtney’s General Store, Jerusalem Mansion, Bank Barn, Springhouse, two-story Smokehouse/Dairy, and another residence. The Jericho Covered Bridge is located adjacent to the village.
Sunday hours are 1 PM to 4 PM for the Gristmill Museum & Visitor Center, the Blacksmith Shop, the General Store Museum and gift shop, the Miller’s House, and the Joinery. Learn about the village, explore our artifacts, and see how a 1772 gristmill operated. See the forge in operation as our blacksmiths demonstrate their trade. Experience family life in the 19th century, where period-attired interpreters will describe cooking methods, social life, gardening, and more. The Joinery is located in the front room of the Carriage House, adjacent to the mill. Watch our volunteer woodworker demonstrate the tools and techniques used in colonial times.
The restored Jericho Road Covered Bridge is one of only three covered bridges in the entire state that is still in operation. This is a public road so please use caution when visiting!
The village grounds are open to the public from sunrise to sunset. There are picnic areas throughout the village and miles of hiking trails. Several of our buildings are open to the public during the times indicated below, subject to the availability of our limited volunteer staff.
