Another one off the list! We all know better than to think it was painting the living room, right? Nope, instead, I got to go to Lanterman's Mill. Thanks to Marie I found my way, toured the mill, and walked the covered bridge.
As a history fan, I loved it. The ten year old wasn't sure about this excursion and we couldn't pry him away from the tool game, guessing what tools went with the explanations. I saw an ice saw, oxen yoke, cultivator, and much more. The bottom of the mill was spectacular with the water wheel that weighs more than a female elephant and the stone walls where you could feel the grain and see the chiseling.
I took a moment and tried to envision the hands working the mill circa 1846. As a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan, I was fascinated!
So fascinated I...forgot my camera! Thank goodness for the smart person who remembered their camera and put it on line. Dawiz1753---thank you!
