About Potters Mills

Potters Mills is a small, historic community tucked into the eastern end of Penns Valley in Centre County. Originally established in the late 1700s around a grist mill built by General James Potter, the village sits against the scenic backdrop of the Seven Mountains. Rolling farm fields and wooded ridges border the area, giving residents lots of open space, beautiful mountain views, and a quiet rural pace.

Location is one of the biggest perks for commuters. Positioned right along Route 322 and Route 144, Potters Mills offers a straightforward 20-minute drive into State College and the Penn State campus, with Lewistown an easy trip to the southeast. It makes a practical choice for anyone wanting scenic countryside living while staying close to regional shopping, healthcare, and job centers.
