Th stone mill in this 1915 photograph dates at least 300 years. It was used for grinding wheat. The stones are granite; the wooden pullet was used for driving the mill by water power. The grinder was originally supported by a wooden frame; the grain was fed in at the top and was pulverized by passing between the two stones, as the upper one revolved. Mill-stones, although immortalized in storyt and used in all mills into the first years of the 20th century gave way to the steel roller mill.
