Volant Mills


Opened in 1812, Volant Mills is located in Western Pennsylvania Amish country along the Neshannock Creek in Volant. The historic grist mill has been the economic center of this small town in Lawrence County for over two centuries. Now owned by a community non-profit organization, Volant Mills features shops where customers can buy handcrafted goods. There is currently a restoration effort underway to restore the historic waterwheel and other water powered turbines, making this a working mill again.

Lots of fishing takes place at the old dam along the Neshannock Creek near Volant Mills.

  1. I have a postcard showing the Mill Dam, with a postmark of August 17, 1914. It was mailed to someone in Michigan. The signature appears to be the name of Gary Ellen (it is quite small). As it is over 100 years old, I thought someone there should have it. Please send an address where this can be sent. Thank you, Koneta Smith, Russellville KY
