Widow Catherine Smith
Built a stone house on this site in 1774, operating saw and grist mills that stood near the intersection of the present highway. During 1776, she completed the boring mill where a great many gun barrels for the Continental Army were manufactured.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Old U.S. 15 and Park Road (Pennsylvania Road 1010), on the left when traveling north.
