VAN REED’SPAPER MILL

The paper mill was built in the 1800’s by the Van Reed family and is Spring Township’s oldest building. Do we know any more history?

Do we want to say anything about the potential for commercial business/fixing of the damn?

CITY CLOSECOUNTRY QUIET

Welcome to Legacy at The Papermill! Legacy is a specially planned community for active adults, 55 and older, who are ready to downsize but are not ready to give up their lives, their interests or their independence.

Legacy is the best of all worlds. Located on 53 acres in the center of scenic Berks County, only 17 acres are developed. Stunning views of Downtown Reading abound from these rolling hills. Legacy is a short walk to the Tulpehocken Creek and its world-renowned trout fishing waters. Bordered on one side by the Cacoosing Creek, a family of minks can be seen sunbathing on warm days and birdwatchers will love the variety of duck species that frequent these waters.

When you’re ready for a faster pace, shopping, art, museums and culture are just minutes away. History buffs will love discovering Berks County’s rich past steeped in tradition.

Berks County is a convenient ride to many east coast major metropolitan areas: Philadelphia - 75 minutes Baltimore - 2 hours, 15 minutes New York City - 2 hours, 20 minutes Washington D.C. - 2 hours, 45 minutes
