Our History Month Event has been extended through TODAY Sunday, June 22, 11AM - 3 PM!!

Yesterday the winds were calm, but today there is a better chance that the wind conditions will be favorable to set the mill in motion and grind corn!

We invite you to stop by the mill today for a tour - and perhaps to watch the mill grind corn!
