Lightfoot Mill is an archetypal small, eighteenth century custom grain mill in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. It is probably the only surviving one in the United States with an intact power transmission system.^[1]

By a "custom grain mill" what is meant is that grinding of grain was done upon demand?

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005.^[1]^[3]
