Burwell-Morgan Mill 1782

The mill is located in Millwood Virginia, obviously how the town got its name.  It's powered by a small stream.



One of the grinding stones.  They use different types to get what is needed from different grains.

Below are the gears which work the grinding stone.

    It is always interesting to be reminded of the way things used to be. And how those things paved the way for the way things are now.
