Some of the Mill Directors discussing the changes /improvements needed |
The mill, before the makeover, had a variety of artifacts from the past and the
millers family was there to greet you. The mill was a working mill that
produced electricity until the turbine was no longer functional. There
are only a few pictures of the inside of the mill before the makeover. |

It took several experts and volunteers to get it in correct alignment. |

It took many bolts to anchor the turbine in place. |
