Jeremiah Brown House and Mill Site is a Colonial-era mill complex and national
Quaker from Pennsylvania; and a two-story, two-bay gable-roofed frame house built in 1904 by John Clayton on the site of the original 1702 log wing. Also on the property is a small 19th century bank barn; a reconstruction of the original mill built on top of the stone foundations of the 1734 Brown Water Corn and Gristmill; and the foundations of an 18th-century saw mill.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1] The entire site is located within the grounds of the Plumpton Park Zoo.
