spinning pulleys and belts overhead which are used in such annual spectacles
such as the Apple Cider Event at the end of October.
To the left, one of the Volunteers of the Cedar Creek
Grist Mill reaches into the hopper to give an edible memento for the
visitor to take home.
Can you name the photo for this young Grist Mill
Visitor to the right?
A recent visit from this little girl was captured as she was intently looking into the top of the Buhr mill. She
just could not get over the operation. We need a caption on this one...
"is this really where the wheat goes in?"
"no don't put me in there."
"The grain that goes in the top, comes out the bottom as flour."
It is a great picture, maybe you can put words to it? Let us know and
e-mail your caption to:Grist-Mill-Tour-Director@cedarcreekgristmill.com
How much water does it take to power the Grist Mill?
To run the generator and the Buhr Mill requires 47 gallons per second!
That's 2829 gallons per minute and 170,000 gallons per hour.
That's a bit over 11 tons of water per minute.
