Springdale Mills was built in 1857 by Christian Stouffer, and was named after the surrounding area which was then known as Springdale Downs. The mill survived a sucession of owners when in 1928, Hobard Shockey changed its name to Shockey Mills. In 1932, the property was sold to Wilmer Shank who changed its name to Shank's Mill.
The mill still retains some of its original shafting and pulleys, and is still in good condition.
