Well said Lunie!
It is very generous of them to keep it open to the public. I just hope that privilege is respected by the public.
You're welcome Cathy:-)
I'm pleased you went by for a peek Jacki.

I salute the descendants for reviving the mill, it's another living history they could be proud of.

Beekay

It is a long time and can still function Gracie!
I thought it was interesting too. A lot of water and some Yankee ingenuity hard at work Ardy.
And hopefully a lot longer too Lyndee.
This view shows the working parts of the mill Jacki. I have other photos I'll post at some point...one is on BeeKay2 tonight of the dam.
And it's open 24/7 and free to visitors smllpkg.

Interesting reading, BeeKay. Thank you.

Graciela

Hard to believe this is over 200 years, I wonder what kind of wood is that.

Beekay

It can and does work since renovations but they don't run it much. There is a reason it is nicknamed the thunderstorm mill. There is a great link above with lots of info if you're interested Lunie.

Dilubreuer

Thanks Beekay for this very informative photo. Still operational?

Beekay

Floyd, you might like to look at the link I have listed above. Not only is there some good information about the mill but you'll also find a collection of great photos showing the mill in operation.
The descendants of the original owner has restored the mill and keeps it open to the public as a museum. It's a wonderful, working piece of history Ardy.
Nice of you to stop by Jo. Thank you for the sweet comment too♥

Nice to see it still looking great for its age.
When I saw that open saw blade that reminded me
of sawing wood without any protection from a dangerous blade.

ringleader

Over 200 years old. They sure built things better back then and without all the modern equipment there is now. Thanks BeeKay.
