Celebrating it's 200th Anniversary Sept. 2012! Click heading above for details!
Since it's inception, Volant Mills has served as the hub of commercial activity in this picturesque rural community along the banks of the Neshannock Creek in the rolling hills of western PA Amish country.
Where once local farmers flocked to have their grist milled, shoppers now come to see this icon of rural Americana. Saved from the dilapidation forces of nature in 1984 and reinvented as a country mercantile shop, Volant Mills once again drew shoppers from near and far. Purchased in 2006 by a local community non-profit - The Volant Community Development Corp (VCDC).- the building is being renovated to preserve this historic structure and work is being done to restore it's grinding capability and to enhance it's use by generating electricity utilizing hydroelectric power.
Update: The VCDC has hired B.E.Hassett Millwrights and we hope to have our grinding machinery operational in 2012!!
