A view of the old grist mill in rural Reynolds county, in late spring. Just when I thought I'd taken photos of all of the old mills here in the Ozarks, I came across a reference to this one on the net and had to get a photo of it. This was taken on a rainy day last week, when the light was soft and just right. This mill was built in 1973 on the location of a previous old mill built back in the 1800's. There are 3 mill ponds above the mill, the main spring which is huge, which falls into the second and third ponds and pretty waterfalls which you can see to the left. Hope you all have a great Sunday! View large if you can!
Book focuses on region's old mills and their surroundings.

But you can also think a ride on a horse. Hoogmade is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is located about 7 km east of Leiden, in the municipality of Kaag en Braassem. Hoogmade was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1855, when it merged with Woubrugge. The historic Vlietmolen is a windmill and is located, the rural landscape, in Gemeente Kaag en Braassem, South Holland, Netherlands. Midden in het groene hart van de Randstad ligt het dorp Hoogmade. Het is een dorp in de Zuid-Hollandse gemeente Kaag en Braassem en ligt ten oosten van Leiden en ten noordwesten van Alphen aan den Rijn. Hoogmade ligt aan het riviertje de Does. Ten oosten ligt de Wijde Aa met veel mogelijkheden voor watersport en recreatie. In Hoogmade zelf is een leuke dorpskern aanwezig met winkels en horeca en als je van het buitenleven houdt kunt u in de omgeving heerlijk fietsen, wandelen en varen. Hoogmade wordt sinds de dertiende eeuw genoemd in geschriften. Het had van circa 1255 tot 1795 grote zelfstandigheid. Sinds 1855 behoorde Hoogmade tot de gemeente Woubrugge en sinds 1 januari 2009 behoort Hoogmade tot de gemeente Kaag en Braassem, een samengaan van Alkemade en Jacobswoude. De Vlietmolen is een wipmolen iets ten oosten van Hoogmade. De molen is in 1913 gebouwd ten behoeve van de bemaling van de Vlietpolder, als vervanging van een afgebrande eerdere molen. Onderin de molen bevindt zich een woning die wordt bewoond. Tot 1929 bezat de molen een scheprad. In dat jaar werd een schroefpomp ingebouwd. Naast de molen bevindt zich tegenwoordig een vijzel, waarmee het water wordt opgevoerd. Omdat de overbrenging onder de vloer ligt, is de molen inwendig voor een wipmolen vrij ruim. De Rijnslandse Molenstichting is eigenaar van deze prachtige molen. In 2002 volgde een tweede restauratie, waarbij de molen weer maalvaardig is gemaakt.
These mills are not only stunning, but also loaded with history.
Some of these facts you may not know already about Oregon, and some you probably already do. Either way, some of these facts are just outrageous and funny. Oh and that beautiful image you see at the beginning of this article? Well I came across it while doing research

Gayle Mill, constructed in 1776, is now a Grade II* listed building, a scheduled monument and came third in the BBC's 2004 Restoration contest. Originally a cotton-spinning mill it was converted to a sawmill in 1878. It is the oldest structurally unaltered cotton mill in existence, and its Thomson Double-Vortex turbine built by Williamson's of Kendal in 1878 is believed to be the world's oldest surviving water turbine still in its original situation. The mill has been restored and is now open to the public. Gayle is a hamlet sited a mile south of Hawes in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. It was originally a farming settlement but the population grew during the late 18th century to around 350 with employment in local quarries, coal-mining in Sleddale and in this water-driven cotton mill on Gayle Beck. The population of the village later contracted. Source: Wikipedia

Dear Diary, My children are soon-to-be 11 (how?!) and 7. They are curious, active and inquisitive. And to fuel their imaginations, I've been taking them with me on my explorations in the area. Sometimes, the subject matter is a bit mature, sometimes violent and sometimes abandoned, like the topic of this post. This is their history though, as Minnesota is their home base and I'm certain they'll soon learn about these places in school. My goal and intent is that they will be able to connect what they saw with their own eyes and what they experienced at these places to the lessons they'll potentially be taught. The impact will be far greater and much more meaningful. Minnesota is home to what was once the "milling capital of the world." Flour mills were abundant, driving both city settlements and the state's early economy. The most famous mill is probably the Washburn A Mill, the site of a deadly explosion that killed more than a dozen men and prompted revised safety precautions. Currently, the Mill City Museum resides on that spot of occurrence. Scattered throughout the region are the ruins of smaller mills, like the Archibald Mill in Dundas. It's now abandoned, the structure crumbling as nature reclaims it for herself, and is a short drive from our house. The Archibald Mill is located on the Cannon River, which was essential for power, and was founded in 1857. It expanded with a second mill constructed across the river in 1870. It was the first U.S. mill to produce and market patent flour, and it's "Dundas Straight" was once considered the best flour in the country. The Archibald Mill is associated with the introduction of hard spring wheat to Minnesota, and was one of the nation's first to convert fully to a roller mill. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its national significance in commerce, industry and of course, flour milling. At the time, the mill used the most current technology available, and the flour, called EXTRA, was a fine quality. It was sold for $1-2 more per barrel than other local flours. On December 31, 1892, both mills caught fire and burned. The monetary loss was $30,000 and was partially covered by insurance. Twice more the mill was rebuilt and burned in fires before it was destroyed in the 1930s. Today, only the foundation of the 1857 mill remains, while the ruins of the 1870 mill stand at the river's edge near a trailhead for the Mill Towns Trail.
