1913

Jackson's Mill is under new ownership once again.

The Cliftons sold the property to A. T. Watson. Watson was the last private owner of the property. By this time the property consisted of the house, the mill building, a few buildings, the remnants of the dam and a few surrounding acres as most of the 1,500 acres once owned by the Jackson’s had been parceled off over the intervening years. In the years that followed, the Monongahela Securities Company purchased the property and drilled gas wells on the property. They were also involved in the Monongahela Valley Traction Line, a trolley line which ran out of Weston, with a stop near Jackson’s Mill; an important tourism development due largely to public interest in visiting the boyhood home site of “Stonewall” Jackson.
