Meshoppen, PA

Meshoppen is a borough in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, in the northeastern part of the state. Its most recognizable landmark is the Old White Mill, also known as Sterling Mill or Pinnock Mill. The mill stands as a reminder of the small water-powered industrial sites that once served farm valleys, turning local grain and timber into the practical goods a rural community needed. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

The borough's setting is classic northeastern Pennsylvania: wooded hills, narrow roads, creeks, and farms gathered around a compact settlement. Meshoppen's name is closely tied to the old mill because the building gives the village a physical link to its working past, while the surrounding valley keeps the scale of that past easy to picture. Today the borough remains a small Wyoming County community, with the mill, local streets, and nearby countryside telling a story of waterpower and agriculture. Meshoppen is the kind of place where one preserved building can make the older map visible again, from the mill race to the farms that once depended on it.
