The Tulpehocken Creek reflects the old Gring's Mill in Berks County, PA.
And downstream a heron stands watch.
Other than being a public park today,
I can't find much information about the history of the mill except that
there was a murder/suicide here in 1875.
That story says a mother and her three children,
in response to her husband's roving eye,
jumped into the nearby canal and drowned.
The water does rush crazy strong through the canal lock.
It is mesmerizing to watch it flow
but a heartbreaking story to reflect upon.
Gring's Mill
is located in Berks County at
2083 Tulpehocken Rd, Reading, PA 19610

Beautiful pictures, tragic story. I love the great blue heron, they always stand so still.
What a sad story, but beautiful sights.
I love old building near the water shots. Forlorn, but builds an appetite for the imagination and stories.

I'm going to miss those old mills in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
My Beagle dog. Adi, and I were a registered Pet Therapy Team. We visited assisted lving homes, Alzheimers residents, and helped children read. Adi died in 2012. She has been on my blog many times.

It is crazy to think about murder-suicides back in the 1800's. What a great place to wander though.
Hello there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group? There's a lot of people that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Thanks
