Gunpowder Copper Works gained a national reputation. This gristmill, which still stands near Harford Road and the Great Gunpowder Falls, was operated by Levi Hollingsworth from 1811 to 1838. During the War of 1812, Gunpowder Copper Works supplied the United States Navy with copper sheathing for ships. Following the war, the plant refined copper from Frederick County mines for the dome of the US Capitol, which had been destroyed by the British. Hollingsworth's dome lasted until the expansion of the Capitol in the 1860's.
Today, the Gunpowder watershed is primarily known for its winding trails, abundant trout, and good rapids for inner tubing.
