    This place is gorgeous. I came here for a memorial dedicated to my Uncle. We had a beautiful ceremony that the Mill happily let us have. The grounds are expansive, with plenty of trails and historical info. This place is great for hiking, or taking some beautiful pictures. The staff that run the small museum there are also really nice and helpful. There are indoor bathrooms at the welcome center should you need, and a water fountain.

    The most beautiful historic site I have ever seen. Everything is perfectly preserved and authentic. I witness the lady working in blacksmith shop. I'm convinced she really loves that life.

    Tldr: The trails are very nice, lots of things to look at, and the parking is good. The trails themselves are very nice once you get by the bit of gravel at the beginning. The trail markers are clear and frequent and most of the trails are under a fair amount of shade. I walked half of the white trail and the blue trail since they connect and make a little loop. Everyone on the trail was friendly and it overall feels very safe. Not that many people were on the trails and we never felt very close to anyone, but it also wasn't a super busy day. There are some hills, rocks, and little creeks to walk over but overall I would say this is a fairly easy hike. Lots of places to stop and take a break if you need to. For people who are trying to get some exercise in or are looking to do a trail for the first time, I would highly recommend this one. There seems to be a lot of cool history stuff to look at, and occasionally there will be jousting. When we were there the blacksmith was in and a few families were at the picnic tables nearby. The loss of stars is for the lack of clarity of the map. The trail maps are a little crude and confusing and so it's hard to get started on the right trail. But once you get going it's easy to follow the markers. Sometimes the trail splits and there isn't really signage, so make sure you look a little down the paths to follow your colored trail marker. I also took a star down because there were a lot of people not following the rules. Some girls were taking grad pictures and a bunch of people want to get closer looks at either things in the woods or the covered bridge and walk in the road. The road is already a single lane that supports two way traffic so it can get hectic, but the people made it that much worse. The parking is pretty good. They have designated lots and even an overflow parking area. I will say we went on a moderately busy day and had to park on the overflow lot, so if you're going on a perfect weather Saturday you might want to get there a bit earlier. Overall it's a great spot to bring kids for a picnic, do on an outdoor date, or take a fairly easy hike. Next time I'll be looking at more of the attractions such as the museum. I look forward to returning!

    The well traveled trails around the Mill are just lovely as always. With the Little Gunpowder Falls River as the background, it's very relaxing. Nothing hard core, with about 200ft of elevation change. Be mindful of rocky bits.

    Nice little park I like to come up here and watch the blacksmithing and other events they hold. They also hold concerts here it's a good place to just come and relax or take a dip in the river

    Went for a 7 mile hike along the Gunpowder. Very nice trails but a few could be better blazed.

    Stopped by this place while geocaching. It was wet and cold so I could not spend a lot of time there. There is a gift shop, but it is only open on weekends...out of luck on a Wednesday. It was nice to see the partially reconstructed barn and old farm equipment. I'll have to stop by on a weekend to get a better look at the place.

    Great place nestled right in kingsville Maryland. It's also part of Gunpowder state park. There's so much to explore and do. Great for families and friends. The village is historic and is all run by volunteers and locals. They keep up with maintaining the history. There's lots of trails and they all connect to the state park. They even do guided tours and educational field trips. There's a jousting field that has summer events. There's lots of fishing and swimming areas to go explore. Plenty of hiking trails that are horse friendly as well as biking trails. There is a museum that's open on weekends and a visitor center. This place is free to visit and has free parking but they do accept donations. There are plenty of picnic benches and a pavilion. Most of the historic buildings are acessable and can be gone through. There's even the old black smith shop which is fun and they do live demonstrations. Located minutes from 95 and easy to get to. Go out and explore plenty of photo opportunities here !!!

    This little village is so beautiful for taking photos! It's great for a picnic as well. There's a stream running through it that makes it so peaceful. They have events from time to time as well.

    Really nice and easy trails for you to bring tour pets or little kids. It's very relaxing. Parking is give or take because it can get crowded easily so the earlier the better.

    Jerusalem mill trail was good one around 50 minutes. Initial elevation takes some breath but not very steep. Thereafter, it goes down and parallel to river stream. It was beautiful sunny morning which helped.

    A must place to take pictures of the family. I just loved the wooden covered bridge that is within walking distance along the river.

    This is such a great place , I love to see places from our past history and learn about the people who lived there, how they went about their lives. The building's are mostly being renovated and it's all by volunteers. I hope to see more people willing to volunteer and help save this nice place for everyone to learn about. I hope everyone who visits donates money to this awesome place.

    Lovely grounds for exploring. Charming historic properties. Run by volunteers, who have done an amazing job having the buildings restored. Expect handmade labels and laid back interpretation.

    I love coming here when I want a really easy walk and to sit by the river. The grounds, trails, and buildings are beautifully kept. We got a tour of the mill when we were here once and it was great to learn the history! Definitely go to see for yourself and enjoy the trails.

    Me and my wife go to Jerusalem Mill as much as we can to see the constant changes. The visitor center is amazing so much history and the items inside change on a regular basis. The stream, walking paths, store , covered bridge, blacksmith shop and old out buildings are beautiful, they even have a Take one leave one book units. Stop and visit relax on a bench near the water and enjoy the beauty and quiet.
