Portable sawmill ruins near Quaker Bridge Tavern

[GAK]

Hi. Does anyone know where the old portable sawmill ruins is near Quaker Bridge Tavern? Someone mentioned it's a little over 0.5 miles away. I tried looking yesterday, but worse than a needle in a haystack. Can someone offer better clues or PM coordinates. Just want to document site with photos and measurements. There are cool photos here of it. But no clue where. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know anything about it. There's some discussion of a sawmill near Quaker Bridge in this old thread however, it says a half mile East of Quaker Bridge on the South side of the road.

Yes. That is where I got the information from. And the photos of it as well. I hope, it has not been lost thru time. Thanks...

This would be about a half mile East of Quaker Bridge, nothing really stands out on the LIDAR for me around there however.

I walked the area there. Probably did not go far enough. LIDAR shows a square patch of the area. Possibly an old farm.

I'm sure someone else will come along with better information, but just looking some more, this is probably the Quaker Bridge road being discussed (Quaker Bridge - Atsion Rd) and not the one in my earlier link (Quaker Bridge - Sandy Ridge Rd). There do appear to be a few things of interest South of the road on the LIDAR near that location.

I also walked that area briefly last week. Did not see anything. But walked maybe 80ft from the road at most? I stopped approx 0.6 miles from Quake Bridge. Perhaps I went too far? Will try again today. Just hope ruins are not lost.

It is just past the stream coming from Quaker bridge on the right side. The saw mill that is

It is easy to miss.

Just past the stream? Was under the impression it was a little over half a mile away from QB? Thanks..

Well I came back from earlier today.. Looked from approx 0.4-1.0 miles after Quaker Bridge and about 200-300 ft away from QB Rd. into the woods. NO go.

It is not Quaker Bridge. It is Penn Swamp.

I should correct myself: It's more like 2.3 miles as the crow flies from Quaker Bridge, just east of Penn Swamp.

 

[Boyd]

That would be around here then?

Just a bit more to the east of the swamp.
