🏛️ Next up in our series: Milling in the Revolution: Millstones for Flour

Join us this Saturday, June 27, from 10 AM–2 PM as we continue our Milling in the Revolution series and explore the miller's primary tool for making flour—the millstone.

🪨 Learn what millstones were made from and where they came from
🌾 Discover how they turned wheat into flour
🔨 See how millstones were constructed, maintained, and dressed to produce the finest flour

Throughout the day, we'll demonstrate the process of banding a millstone, assembling a French burr stone, and, if time allows, dressing a millstone.

🎟️ FREE admission | Stop by anytime between 10 AM and 2 PM

Experience Revolutionary-era milling and discover how flour helped build America!
