Watkins Mill

Watkins Mill is a small settlement in Montgomery County, Maryland. The population is quite small but the place is well-known mainly because of the water-powered grist mill. It has been located in Seneca Creek since 1783 on Grey’s Neck Property owned by Adin Grey. During the middle of the 19th century, it was operated by Levi Snyder and later by Remis Snyder. The road was known as Snyder’s Mill Road. In 1877, Levi Watkins purchased the grain mill powered by a wheel running on two pairs of stones. Unfortunately, this was destroyed by fire in 1908. The miller’s house

also burned down in 1920. Watkins Mill used to be situated near the mill race on the creek’s north bank.
