About the event
The Workings of a Grist Mill: Â Presented by Kim Van Wormer
The native people and the early settlers used a mortar and pestle to grind "corn" seed into flour. Â In 1636 John Jenney erected a grist mill. Â It functions today with Kim at the helm. Â Â "So you have the water wheel, water flows into the wheel, the weight of the water makes the wheel turn, so now we've just created energy." Â Â Bring your questions and your pocketbook. Â Kim will have stone-ground flour for sale.
