Thanks for the info TG.... I tried to find just the answer you did, but only got other history, which was also interesting, but noting about how it operated... Good detective work.... I agree there's something charming about water wheels.... Followed by covered bridges.... Thanks again.... ｡◕‿◕｡❤｡◕‿◕｡
Smor, this mill never had a water wheel from what I read. Here's an excerpt from the article:
In 1894 land speculator, George Washington McCaskill and his partner, Jenoah Whitacre built a state-of-art mill to process the farmers’ grain of wheat and corn into flour or meal. This grist mill, the picturesque red mill standing today, used a turbine rather a water wheel and rollers rather than a stone grist to grind the grain.
But I agree with you, nothing quite as charming as the water wheel!!!
Lovely old mill... From the thumbnail I thought there was a water wheel.... I love waterwheels.... Very interesting for a mill to be on the edge of water and not have a waterwheel.... Thanks for posting this TG.... ｡◕‿◕｡❤｡◕‿◕｡
