Pictures of old grist mill

[pyshodoodle]

My dad cleaned it out years ago. May be a few things buried, I guess, but the bottom is stony, not muddy. Here's a shot of where the springhouse used to stand. I've posted a story before, but here's a picture to go with it: When I was about 5, There was this white house in the water in here. I was with the neighbor's granddaughter and she was older than me and she pulled it out & gave it to her grandparents. I think they still have it, unless they've given it to her recently. I want it back! Just couldn't reach it myself! Still bitter!
I'm thinking about checking upsteam, though. There used to be a fence thingy that stopped garbage from flowing into the mill. There may be stuff in there.
(Plus the water is 42 degrees year round! Maybe I'll go wading in January!)

Here's part of the local history section of my "borrow until they ask for it back" library.

A friend of theirs found this on ebay and bought it for them as a gift.

Kate, you have to dig those privies!! I couldn't let them sit there, undisturbed. Joe and I will be arriving shortly[]

Seriously - even my digging partner who's dug many privies says it's not worth it if it had the trough! One across the millrace first. []

When they dressed the stones I think it was in stilettos and strapless night gowns....[]

It flattened the grinding face of the of the millstone (laying flat) and the grind stone (on edge).

Glassman - I took the top view of my car from the 3rd floor. I don't like heights, so I don't go close to the edge. (I stay inside the mill on the third floor & stick my camera out the door, actually.) Second floor isn't so scary. I used to jump down from there, but wouldn't do it now.
