VISITING THE MILL SITE
We have tours on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month, June-September, from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Tours are free (but we LOVE donations!). If you would like to stop by and look at the mill on the off season, please feel free to roam the grounds, but the mill will be locked for security. The mill and the Crooked River with the snow and ice in the winter are very beautiful and wonderful photo opportunities abound. In addition to our regular in-season hours, we host special tours and educational programs. We are closed during the winter.
EXHIBIT SHED
Our new exhibit shed is in place behind the long shed! This will be used to display period artifacts from the homestead farm and sawmill including an ox sling, along with various machines and items used in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
EVENTS
Some highlights for past events were hand hewing, two man use of the buck saw, and timber framing. On display was the newly restored Civil War Caisson that was adapted by the Scribner Brothers as a wagon to haul lumber and the big wheel log hauler. Tours of the mill included a demonstration of the 19 th century machinery to manufacture parts for dry (slack) barrels.
The mill site, which includes the barn, ice house, and blacksmith shop, holds a large collection of antique mill, household, and ice harvesting equipment.
