Amazing bit of history. A real water powered mill from 1835. They are open Tuesdays except in the winter.
Great folks too, all volunteers.
If you love history Id strongly suggest you leave the beaten trail and give this place a visit. Goto the pioneer village, The mills, Walk the area. Its one of my favourite places.
Awesome to see an old water powered mill at work! The volunteers are happy to share and have a woodworking shop where they make some items you can purchase.. They also have birdhouse making kits for kids.
The volunteers are amazing. Due to their dedication, the mill is open and operating every Tuesday. This provides a very unique opportunity to see a saw mill operate on water power as it would have a hundred years ago.
Fantastic. Run by volunteers that are very knowledgeable. The mill is also a working mill also run by the volunteers.
