This is a much tighter crop of an earlier post of this old historic grists mill. Since I did large format B&W landscape for about 10 years or so, and loved the sepia color that I developed in my darkroom, I choose sepia to portray this image. View Larger On Black

This is a water wheel from the Irvine park. I really liked the whole scene and tried to capture this tiny corner into a nice picture.

This historic grist mill continues to operate much as it did during the 19th century. Built between 1810 and 1820, the mill operated until the 1930s. The mill integrated revolutionary technology created by Oliver Evans. This technology allowed for the grinding process to be a single, continuous flow. Eventually the Fairfax County Park Authority purchased the property and restored the mill's machinery, including a massive waterwheel, wooden gears, and grinding stones. Guests can tour the mill and watch it grind wheat flour and cornmeal as they learn its history. Visitors of the Mill can learn about the history of the building, grinding technology, or purchase meal available in the gift shop.
Investigating a waterwheel illustrates to students the physical properties of energy. They learn that the concept of work, force acting over a distance, differs from power, which is defined as force acting over a distance over some period of time. Students create a model waterwheel and use it to calculate the amount of power produced and work done.
