Falling Spring Mill built in 1927
My aunts had found this old mill a while back & my aunt Valerie took me there July 16th 2011
Falling Spring
Thomas Brown Cabin built in 1851
I absolutely love this cabin... can you imagine an entire family living there?
Hot summers & cold winters? Big family... Several siblings.
Sorry about the condition of this sign...
seems it has been there quite some time, but I'm just glad there was one there to tell the story!
Mouse Over to see color version
Inside the 2 story mill - blurry shots, but it was hot hot hot & bugs were flying around everywhere...
Spring fed pond... so why so stagnant?

It's an intersting thing to imagine the life in 1851.
I love the old buildings.
Wish you a nice sunday.
Tricia thanks for showing us these wonderful things.
You lives near the paradise...
I've never seen a covered mill wheel before. I wonder how common that would be?
And no, I cannot imagine living in such a cabin!
Amazing post Tricia, just the sort of thing i love.
what a beautiful place! looks like it was just you and your aunt there? how funny, my picture today is from a mill location although i didn't post the mill this time, just the bridge!
love the mill wheel and fall! so pretty!
It's all in miniature compared to so many mills I've seen. We love visiting and photographing mills.
Fantastic photos Tricia! So tranquil!

Seems like such a different geology from where I live! It's difficult to envision! Great mill and cabin! Cool!
Great pictures of a beautiful area. My goodness, I cannot imagine the scene, standing there shaking hands with your brothers and saying goodbye to your family...forever. People of those days were a much tougher lot than today, that's for sure.
Aunt Valerie did you a big favor by taking you to this fabulous site so your could take pictures of it. It's a very attractive old mill and I like how you've shown it to us inside and out. Well done.
Nice post of interesting object...
The old mill, a falling spring..

We are so used to the modern conveniences like A/C and plenty of room. The cabin did what it was intended to in its day, providing shelter for everyone in all seasons,
The mill is an honest building, minus electricity it worked with water for many tasks to milling to cutting. The interior is amazing, the huge iron gears awesome (and with enough water, could turn still. Amazing technology then - and now still!
What an interesting place - great shots of the mill, cabin, and waterfalls, as well as the old machinery. Nice tour you brought to us.
