Hanford Mills Museum

Palmer Hill Lookout













Hanford Mills Museum, East Meredith NY            http://www.hanfordmills.org/


Sawmill, grist mill, water wheel
steam power, water power
pulleys and belts and widgets
saws and grinders and sawdust
up to your ankles.
Cool, woodsy inside
The water wheel over 100 years old
it's force and power a thing of beauty
ice house filled with ten tons of ice
layered in sawdust
skill saws, curlicue saws, planers
green green grass
blue blue skies
fresh cut wood smell all around
the genius of machinery
farmers turned inventors
East Meredith surprises.

"People needed many skills to make a good living." Still true, I think.
