Around this time last year, Marc and I went up into Daniels, Maryland to explore the ruins of the Daniels Mill, a former mid-19th century mill and its “company town”. The entire village that supported the mill is now gone, leaving the somewhat eerie sight of abandoned foundations and pillars as the only reminder of its former residents. The mill itself now seems to be used by a construction company for some unknown purpose, but the original buildings are still there, hiding among the newer cinder-block constructions. We stayed well away from the security for the company, but walked along the train tracks and waded a bit into the nearby river that once provided the necessary power for the mill. It is a nice day trip for those in the DC/Northern VA/Baltimore area, and the cool waters of the river are quite refreshing in the heat of a tidewater summer.
As always, I took some photos while there and have posted them below. You can choose to view the images individually or watch them as a slideshow. I hope you enjoy them.
